Explanation:
People do not usually think they are voting for a dictator. They usually think they are voting for or putting up a person who values their cultural and political interests. However power corrupts, and Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Without a way to keep this person down, most people of the state do not understand what they may have given a rise to. The whole question why do people choose is wrong in itself because people can't choose the dictator. They are dictators and have absolute authority in most cases. Dictators like Hitler, Stalin or Mao may have been appealing to the populist people due to their radical beliefs and hatred. These dictators also are really good orators and could speak and influence a herd-like mentality.
The statement is - false.
Brazil became a Portuguese and not a Spanish colony because the Portugal king that sponsored Columbus was the first to be aware of the discovery. So the Portuguese king called upon the Portuguese-Spanish Treaty by which everything south of the Azores belongs to Portugal. The Pope got involved in it all so that everything is fair and passes by without any conflict, so the Portuguese got everything on the eastern part, while the Spanish got everything on the western part, thus Brazil fell into the arms of Portugal and not Spain.
