Which part of Europe is in the Southern hemisphere, exactly??
None. But Stalin doesn't speak English.

This is my second guess so it counts: Ho Chi Minh.

If not him, I'll refrain from further guesses until I am more certain.

Hmm, an Asian dictator who died in the 20th century from natural causes and isn't Chairman Mao.

I know i'm using up our guesses but is it Hồ Chí Minh?

Hồ Chí Minh
It was the use of the Vietnamese diacritics that took the extra time.

I learned about Chiang Kai Shek in American high school. I've heard of Tito in passing, though probably from reading stuff outside of school. Definitely never heard of Ceausescu.

Ceaucescu, the revolution that toppled him, and his execution was top-of-the-newscast news every day for about a week when it happened. After that, nothing. If you weren't paying attention (or not alive/too young at the time) for that week, you would've missed it.
