Authoritarianism is a form of government characterized by strong (usually central) power that demands obedience to authority and limited political and civil freedoms. While a multitude of different typologies has been developed by political scientists to classify authoritarian states, qualities commonly associated with authoritarian regimes include the absence of free and competitive 
democratic elections and one-party state, as well as censorship, and minimal power restrictions. Though sometimes authoritarianism can reside in democratic countries with free and fair elections where there's a clampdown on liberties instead as well as more emphasis on authority.
History
Authoritarianism arose during the transition from 
Tribes to cities. The first authoritarians were 
Monarchs, who had gained power through dynasties. Later in Greece, 
Democracy arose, which quickly became authoritarian. This stayed relatively the same until File:Enlightnenment.png Enlightenment, which resulted in 
numerous 
rebellions against authority. These new positions 
quickly 
became authoritarian, thus continuing the cycle.
Leaders and whose regimes have commonly been regarded as being Authoritarian include 
Saddam Hussein in 
Iraq, 
Francisco Franco in 
Spain, 
Antonio de Oliveira Salazar in 
Portugal, 
Alfredo Stroessner in 
Paraguay, 
Augusto Pinochet in 
Chile, 
Ruhollah Khomeini in 
Iran, 
Fidel Castro in Cuba, 
Emperor Hirohito in 
Japan, 
Saudi Arabia, 
Muammar Gaddafi in 
Libya, 
Vladimir Putin in 
Russia, 
Alexandr Lukashenko in 
Belarus, etc.
Other famous examples include 
Juan Peron in 
Argentina, 
Maximilien Robespierre in 
France, and more recently, 
Hamas and 
Fatah in 
Palestine.
