This article presupposes that history is not a factor in the selection of government by a people. The colonial history of Africa, Russia and South America make the populaces in said regions more likely to accept a strong central leader or dictator rather than a true democracy. This is because the herd population is historically used to -- and thus expects -- the same because of the group's psychological predisposition to said leaders.
