Description

The first of a sixteen-part series about twentieth-century Romania, this episode explores the origins of Unified Romania, the early reign of the vain and blundering King Carol Two, and the rise of the ultranationalist Legionnaires, a faction of death-fetishists led by a charismatic so-called-prophet Corneliu "Corny" Codreanu.
