I was watching a documentary on Amazon Prime about Saddam Hussein, and how he decided to create a shrine to his "victory" over the Americans in Kuwait by making a mosque, as well as Papa Doc's crazy ideas that he was a God. What is the weirdest thing that a tyrannical leader (or government) ever done? Not the worst, just the weirdest/funniest?
Sorry, we don't allow "example seeking" questions. It's not that your question was bad; it's that these kinds of questions tend to produce threads that are collections of disjointed, partial, inadequate responses. If you have a question about a specific historical event, period, or person, feel free to rewrite your question and submit it again. If you don't want to rewrite it, you might try submitting it to /r/history, /r/askhistory, or /r/tellmeafact.
For further explanation of the rule, feel free to consult this META thread.
