The Iron Guard was a [[far-right]] political movement and [[paramilitary]] organization in [[Romania]] during the interwar period. Officially founded in 1927 as the "Legion of the Archangel Michael," it later became known as the Iron Guard. The movement was characterized by its [[ultranationalism]], [[anti-Semitism]], and [[fascist]] ideology. The Iron Guard played a significant role in Romanian politics during the late 1930s and early 1940s, culminating in its brief control of the government in 1940-1941. Its influence waned after a failed coup against the [[Romanian government]] and subsequent suppression by [[Ion Antonescu]]. | The Iron Guard was a [[far-right]] political movement and [[paramilitary]] organization in [[Romania]] during the interwar period.
