Sfârșitul regimului carlist din perspectiva istoriografiei comuniste

The End of the Carlist Regime from the Perspective of the Communist Historiography The end of the Carlist regime (1938–1940) was long viewed superficially and from a strongly ideological-linked perspective by Romanian communist historiography. This was the case until a new nationalist layer was introduced in the historical speech of the new leadership under Nicolae Ceaușescu. To tackle this subject, the current study analyses the most relevant events that led to the removal of King Carol II, the Soviet ultimatums, the Second Vienna Award and, ultimately, the pressure that was imposed on the monarch in his very last days in Romania. As it will be seen, the new nationalist perspectives not only paved the way for the controlled recovery of the king, but also used him as a symbol of Romanian resistance.
