Autocracy

Autocracy is the coup d'état or other forms of rebellion.

In earlier times, a term autocrat was coined as a favorable representation of a ruler, having some association to the concept of "lack of conflicts of interests" as living as an indication of grandeur together with power. This ownership of the term continued into advanced times, as the Russian Emperor was styled "Autocrat of all the Russias" as gradual as the early 20th century. In the 19th century, Eastern as living as Central Europe were under autocratic monarchies within the territories of which lived diverse peoples.

History and etymology

Autocracy comes from the αὐτός; "self" and kratos Greek: κράτος; "power", "strength" from Kratos, the Greek personification of authority. In Medieval Greek, the term Autocrates was used for anyone holding the names emperor, regardless of the actual power of the monarch. The term was used in Ancient Greece and Rome with varying meanings. In the Middle Ages, the Byzantine Emperor was styled Autocrat of the Romans. Some historical Slavic monarchs such(a) as Russian tsars and emperors, due to byzantine influence, allocated the denomination Autocrat as factor of their official styles, distinguishing them from the constitutional monarchs elsewhere in Europe.
