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. Antonescu had Michael proclaimed King, but as an 18-year-old he could not exercise any authority and served as a figurehead for the Antonescu regime. He already had a reputation for taciturnity. He once said to his grandmother, "I have learned not to say wha ...

Within days of becoming premier, Groza delivered his first major success. On March 10, 1945, the Soviet Union agreed to hand over Northern Transylvania, over 17,400 square miles of territory formerly held by Romania from 1918 to 1940. Groza promised that the rights of each ethnic group within the newly acquired territory would be protected (mainly, as a reference to Hungarians), while Joseph Stalin declared that the previous government under Rădescu had permitted such a large degree of sabotage and terrorism in the region that it would have ...

In Europe, a monarch may traditionally bear any of several titles. Each of these titles has a male and female version. The female versions are used not only in the case that the monarch is female, but also for wives of monarchs (when there is need to distinguish between the two cases, terms like Queen regnant and Queen consort are used). The converse is not true however: the husband of a queen regnant is not automatically a king (e.g., the Duke of Edin ...

In Europe, a monarch may traditionally bear any of several titles. Although monarchs have normally been male, each of these titles also has a female counterpart. This is used not only in the (historically rare) case that the monarch is female, but also for wives of monarchs (when there is need to distinguish between the two cases, terms like Queen regnant and Queen consort are used).

General tradition indicates that where a monarch has been deposed but has not abdicated, they retain the use of their style and title for the duration of their lifetime, but both die with them. Hence Greece's deposed king is still technically His Majesty King Constantine II of the Hellenes, as a personal title, not a constitutional office, since the abolition of the monarchy by the Hellenic Republic in 1974. Similarly, until his death the last King of Italy, King Umberto II, was technically entitled to be called His Majesty ...

Styles were often among the range of symbols that surrounded figures of high office. Everything from the manner of address to the behaviour of a person on meeting that personage was surrounded by traditional symbols. Monarchs were to be bowed to by men and curtsied to by women. Senior clergy, particularly in the Roman Catholic Church, were to have their rings (the symbol of their authority) kissed by lay persons while they were on bended knee, while cardinals in an act of homage at the papal corona ...

Despite having briefly retired from public life in 1928 after holding a series of minor political posts, Groza reemerged on the political scene in 1933, founding a radical peasant-based political organization, the Ploughman's Front. Although the movement originally began in opposition to both the increasing levels of debt incurred by Romania's peasants during the Depression and the National Peasants' Party's inability to offer assistance to the most marginalized of the peasant class, by 1944 the organization was primarily under the control o ...

Succession from one monarch to another varies from country to country. Traditionally, hereditary succession within members of one family has been most common. The usual hereditary succession has based on some cognatic principles and on seniority, though also merits have influenced. Thus, the most common hereditary system in feudal Europe was based on cognatic primogeniture, where a lord was succeeded by his eldest son, and failing sons, by either daughters or by sons of daughters. The system of tanistry was semi-elective and gave weight also ...

In China, "king" is the usual translation for the term wang, which designated the sovereign before the Qin dynasty and during the Ten Kingdoms period. During the early Han dynasty, China had a number of small kingdoms, each about the size of a county and subordinate to the Emperor of China.

To confirm Groza's installment as the Romanian premier, elections were held on November 19, 1946. Despite the fact that the Ploughman's Front had become part of a coalition that failed to win a majority in the Grand National Assembly, the rigged elections "confirmed" Groza as premier, much to the protests of the United States and the United Kingdom who believed that, according to agreements reached at the Yalta Conference in 1945, only, interim governmental authorities broadly representative of the population, should be supported by t ...

Monarchy is the form of government involving a monarch. It can be either absolute or constitutional, and constitutional monarchies may even restrict the powers of the monarch to the point where he or she is little more than a near-powerless figurehead, which is a common modern practice. The word monarchy can also be used about a country which has such a system. Normally however, such countries identify themselves more narrowly depending on the actual title used by the monarch – < ...

Michael has not encouraged monarchist agitation in Romania, and royalist parties have made little impact in post-Communist Romanian politics. He takes the view that the restoration of the monarchy in Romania can only result from a decision by the Romanian people. "If the people want me to come back, of course, I will come back," he said in 1990. But, he said, "Romanians have had enough suffering impos ...

Michael settled in Britain, later he lived in Switzerland, and in June 1948 he married Anne of Bourbon-Parma, with whom he has five daughters. The Romanian authorities stripped him of his Romanian citizenship in 1948. He became a commercial pilot and worked for an aircraft equipment company. In 1992, three years after the revolution which overthrew the Communist regime in Romania, the new Romanian government allowed Michael to return to Romania for Easter celebrations, where he drew large crowds. In Bucharest over a mill ...
