| | | | | Ion Iliescu: Encyclopedia II - Michael I of Romania - Rule A regency functioned on behalf of the 5-year-old Michael, but in 1930 Carol II suddenly returned to the country at the invitation of politicians dissatisfied with the regency, and had himself proclaimed King, designating Michael as Crown Prince. In September 1940 the pro-German régime of Marshal Ion Antonescu staged a coup against Carol, whom it considered anti-German.

He once said to his grandmother, "I have learned not to say wha ...

| | | | | | | | Ion Iliescu: Encyclopedia II - Romanian Revolution of 1989 - Bucharest The events in Timişoara were widely reported by Radio Free Europe, Voice of America and by students returning home for Christmas holidays.
