Introduction For this project, I will create a data driven animation to tell the story about the rise and fall of autocratic ruling parties around the world from 1940-2015.
The dataset has been created by Michael K. Miller, an Associate Professor of Political Science and International Affairs from George Washington University. You can find more about the data here.
