Answer
Georgios Papadopoulos, the military dictator of Greece from 1967 to 1974, passed away on 27 June 1999. He came to power through a coup d'état and established an authoritarian regime that suppressed civil liberties and political dissent. Despite being ousted from power in 1974, he remained a controversial figure in Greek politics until his death at the age of 80 due to complications from heart disease.
