Detailed events explanation below
Fortified line Carol
Description: During the interwar period, Romanian defense strategy focused almost exclusively on the western border, shared with the traditional enemy - Hungary. Fortifications were needed to block the most accessible paths to interior and to slow down the attacking forces enough to bring in the area the bulk of Romanian forces. The plan for the fortified line was approved by the High Command on 17 June 1937 and the construction spread over several years, putting a heavy strain on the Romanian economy.

In March 1930 Codreanu formed the Iron Guard, a paramilitary branch of the Legion, who eventually came to identify with the Legion itself. On 10 December 1933, prime minister Ion Duca banned the Iron Guard. In retaliation, Duca was assassinated in December 1933. King Carol II was a strongly opponent of the Legionary Movement and kept them out of government until his abdication. Codreanu was arrested and imprisoned in April 1938.
