That checks out. What goes on in Europe at the time wasn't as much of an impact to them as it is for Western countries involved. The same way in East Asia they're more focused on Japan than Germany.

That being said, hooray for Democratic, Pacifistic Hitler :p

Start with Mugabe.

Or if you want colonial dickheads, Leopold 2 is an interesting but gruesome choice.

Idi Amin is basically Ugandan Trump. You'll have a blast reading up on him. Or Jean Bokassa, he bankrupted his country for a party

Omar Al-Bashir from Sudan is a good one as well. He killed roughly 300,000 Black Africans in his country, funded terrorist organizations, etc. Heard of Darfur? That's him
