 Military dictatorship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A military dictatorship is a form of government wherein the political power resides with the military; it is similar but not identical to a stratocracy, a state ruled directly by the military.
In either case, the chairman of the junta or the single commander may often personally assume office as head of state.
Other military dictatorships are entirely in the hands of a single officer, usually the senior army commander.
