Summary/Abstract: The article examines the political evolution of the military from army generals to politicians and statesmen. The study‘s main goal is to show the similarities and differences between the different authoritarian regimes by means of a comparative method. A close view creates different visions of this phenomenon: building a nation-state, saving the monarchy, restoring democracy/coexistence with democracy, and fighting against dictatorship. These nuances make a new face of authoritarianism.
