The statement that is NOT correct is: "Many tyrants were military leaders who promised to extend more rights to citizens."

While it's true that some tyrants may have been military leaders, the primary characteristic of tyrants in this context was their authoritarian rule and often oppressive governance rather than a commitment to extending rights to citizens. Many tyrants did not necessarily focus on promoting or expanding rights but rather on consolidating power for themselves.
