26. Francisco Franco (Spain)
From the years 1936 to 1975, Francisco Franco successfully held on to his power as dictator, and helped fascism gain a complete hold over Spain for 36 years. His government was notorious for the various human rights abuses. He established concentration camps, rounded up people considered to be enemies of the state and sent them to forced labor and executions. All this claimed the lives of between 200,000 to 400,000 people. In 1975, his rule ended when he fell into a coma and finally had to be weaned off of life-support.
