22. Emperor Shōwa (Hirohito)

He ruled Japan from 1928 to 1989, a time frame that included the “Rape of Nanking” (which killed up to 300,000 Chinese) and World War II (including the unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor). At one point, he encouraged soldiers and civilians to commit suicide rather than surrender to the Americans.
