15. Empress Wu
Empress Wu of China, the next one on our list of most evil people in history was on the throne from 690 to 705, and she was the only women in China’s history to have the absolute rule. However, she cannot be remembered for any positive thing, but rather as a cruel, merciless empress who likes tormenting and killing people. She has been believed to have killed thousands of people, including the members of her own family, such as her newly born daughter.
