A Tyranny, in other words a Dictatorship is a type of government in which one person possesses all the power through the use of force. This sounds very similar to today's government that is used in places like North Korea, a dictatorship. The first Tyrant of Athens was Peisistratus after he overthrew the oligarchy when they became unhappy with the rule of the aristocrats. Tyrants did not last that long as the oligarchy regained control in 1456bc. Their are now tyrants or dictators leading countries all around the world but probably the most known dictator is Kim Jong Un, the dictator of North Korea.
