Good quiz. Most of these would be regarded as infamous by most people. Some not however - such as Tito and Castro.

Thanks for the comment! Castro and Tito had many positive contributions to their countries, but many people are still fleeing their regime. Tito's partisans carried out genocide in the 1940s, and during Castro's time the Cuban economy was not doing so well
