I'm not used to people calling monarchies dictatorships, even though they are in some ways similar. Until 1918, many states in Europe were monarchies.

Calling Saudi Arabia a dictatorship is unfamiliar to you?

Yes. And in any case, that wasn't the point. I haven't seen anybody refer to pre-WWI European monarchies as "dictatorships".

Right. Funny way to point out treaty of Darin as a breaking point.

No idea what your point is. The German empire wasn't a dictatorship, if you want to claim otherwise, find me a credible source that says so.
