A military regime is a form of government in which the military controls the political power of a country. This often occurs after a coup d'état, where military leaders overthrow the existing government. In such regimes, military officials may take on key government roles, and civil liberties are often restricted. Under a military regime, decisions are typically made by a small group of military leaders rather than through democratic processes. This can lead to a lack of political freedom and limited public participation in governance. Examples of military regimes include those seen in countries like Myanmar and Argentina during the late 20th century.
