Military rule, political structure in which a vast amount of power is exercised by the military as an entity. The term military rule as used here is synonymous with military rule and refers to an authoritarian state sub-type. Assigning military to rule would have been unnecessary for most of human history, since virtually all political systems in pre-modern-era large-scale societies fused military, cultural, economic, and monarchical control. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the division of military and civil powers and the emergence of skilled administrative armed forces in European states gave rise to the contemporary concept of military rule. Not all authoritarian regimes are subject to military rule. The most authoritarian non-democratic governments in the 20th century, especially the Nazis in Germany and the Stalinist government in the Soviet Union, were party dictatorships in which political military power was well founded.
Military policy is often linked to developing countries as many countries have once been ruled or are already overtaken by military regimes. In Africa, for example, 32, 21 in the Americas, 19 in Asia-Pacific, and 10 in Europe. Newly independent states share some common "uncivilized" characteristics after the Second World War. Traditional societies with 'backward' practices, lack of development and high reliance on developed countries.
