Between 1920-1930 Romania’s king was Carol II, said to be of a german royal family and reportedly the first generation to be born in Romania. Consequently Romania fought with Germany, and during the course of the war lost territories to the soviet union, Hungary and Bulgaria.

Romania accompanied nazi troops to the soviet union where mass shootings and gassing were reportedly carried out. Atrocities together with serial air attacks by the allies may have been the reason why Romania changed sides yet the allies would not allow them to exit the war. Carol II was deposed in favour of his son Michael who reportedly organised a coup following a refusal by the communist party to make a deal. In 1944, Ion Antonescu, Romanian soldier and minister for defence was dismissed, arrested and charged with war crimes. The case for the prosecution claimed he was antisemitic and responsible for the deaths of many Jews, yet he reportedly established military rule as a way of dealing with pogroms which resulted in thousands being killed. When over a hundred people died during the Bucharest pogrom the Iron guard was prohibited and legionnaires said to be imprisoned.

In 1946 reportedly Antonescu was put on trial by the allied control commision. His defence did not recognise the military dictates of Germany who infact were dictated to by as called high germans or people of saxon descent. King Michael received pleas for clemency from Antonescu’s mother. He was executed by firing squad in 1946. His successor was posted as a military attache in London. Soviets signed a peace pact with the u.n. According to reports, Romania’s communist government began to assert independence. King Michael was exiled soon after the wedding of Elizabeth II and Philip.

Charles IV of the house of Habsburg was overthrown by prime minister count Tisza and exiled. Two years later Miklós Horthy, a military man was instated as regent, by whom is not detailed. Count Tisza who reportedly maintained contact with the allies, planned to divide Romania between Hungary and Russia leaving buffer states of Moldova and Azerbaijan between east and west.

Historically, the Hasburgs ruled the kingdom of Hungary fom the 16th Century. Thought to be of saxon heritage, they may also have other ancestral homes. During the 16th Century, Arabian delegates ruled central and southern parts in what was known as Ottoman Hungary, until 1699. Transylvania, the land beyond the forests was defined as a semi autonomous region and ruled by saxon counts.

The house of Habsburg reportedly fought alongside the Austrian empire against Hungary in 1869, seemingly leading to a duel monarchy. The empire is thought to have crumbled fifty years or so later due to a vye for leadership, a revival of nationalism and international competition.

Bela IV of Hungary and the house of Arpád who ruled during the 13th Century was reportedly coronated during his father’s life time by a group of officials. Strongly opposed by his father he is not detailed to have taken the reigns until his father’s death twenty one or so years later. Early in his reign his army was said to have been decimated by a mongolian invasion. Said to be involved in reconstruction and defence he reportedly made allies in the Ukraine, Belarus and Poland. Bela IV’s policies are detailed as de-emphasising culture in favour of migration and integration. Early 20th Century demographics record a homogenous population, including Romania. Romanies are thought to have been dispersed. Romanian children were adopted in Ireland over the years, perhaps in sympathy, having similar treatment.

Reportedly the peasant wars occured in Romania, Germany and elsewhere in europe. The Transylvanian uprising thought to be of the indigenous population began from local disturbances and was reportedly opposed to both saxon and Romanian nobility, though this is disputed. The protests were concerned with poverty and freedoms. Non payment of rent and taxes resulted in ownership known as serfdom. Some salt mine workers and poor town people are said to have joined the revolt. Saxon troops lead by székely counts were quelling rebellions. By 1346 the catholic church in the area had reportedly made a pro protestant ally, a Hussite who was asked to help. Many székely assemblies occured, reportedly for judicial purposes. The Diet of Hungary conceded that Romanian nobility no longer had to pay tithes but poor people did.

Rebels marched to the town of Kolosvar and invaded and plundered the Báthrory estate, a Hungarian dynasty that ruled the military, church and administration. The Báthrorys had beaten Maximilian II to the throne. The rebels reportedly beheaded an unknown number of the gentry. Saxon leaders ordered a blockade which resulted in famine and defeat. According to documentation nine leaders of the revolt were executed, rebel groups were annihilated and those meant to be defending Kolosvar mutilated.

Rents were raised and saxons were accused of being unable to control the peasants. Bishop Lépes tried to help though the region was autonomous. He advocated a conference rather than military action. The peasants sent four envoys who reportedly asked for freedom from serfdom and an end to the abuses occurring on collection of rents. The envoys were tortured and murdered. A second agreement suggested delegates from the saxons and the peasants, thought to be Romanian, travel to the king in Prague so that he could arbitrate. Romanians asked for their freedoms back, freedoms they said were curtailed by every kind of subterfuge. The meeting is not thought to have occurred.

Valéry Giscard d’Estaing lost the support of president Charles de Gaulle, and on leaving his position he is said to have campaigned against de Gaulle who was succeeded by Georges Pompidou in 1969. He was reinstated and became a conservative candidate. In 1974 at the age of 48 he won the presidency from the socialist alliance.

Austerity measures and high unemployment meant poverty. His re-election campagn which focused on the economy and as called nuclear independence failed. Socialism was said to have returned to France in 1981 under Françoise Mitterband, Unbelievably Françoise Mitterband is said to have started as nationalist right wing.

Governance issues may include conforming to eu standards in other areas, such as social welfare for instance. Britain has the lowest unemployment benefit in the eu.

The uk are due to leave the eu trading regime at the end of 2020 and discussions will seemingly continue this week. Fisheries is reportedly one topic on the agenda, but what would constitute British waters in former agreements? Possibly waters belonging to members of the commonwealth and perhaps other agreements. Eu access to these waters may have been an incentive. Logically this has to cease.

The eu are talking about fair competition. The uk’s main issue may be their exit from the customs union. According to reports the single market may be difficult to govern, northern Ireland have reportedly been given a concession to remain by the eu commision, and told to veto any border checks by the uk government.
