POLITICA EXTERNA A MISCARII LEGIONARE ÎN TIMPUL STATULUI NATIONAL-LEGIONAR DIN ROMÂNIA. ATITUDINEA FATA DE ANGLIA
THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE LEGIONARY MOVEMENT DURING THE NATIONAL-LEGIONARY STATE IN ROMANIA. ATTITUDE TOWARDS ENGLAND

Summary/Abstract: Taking into account the incessant Romanian-Russian antagonism, the Legionary Movement’s permanent position was that British foreign policy is incompatible with that ofRomania, the latter having problems and enemies different from those of England. The belief in the negative role that the Jews had in Romania and the powerful influence of the Jewish circles in England increased the anti-English feelings of the legionaries. England was accused, directly or indirectly, of all evils possible, the anti-English psychosis being extremely strong within the Legionary ranks. Accordingly, the British guarantee to Romania in April 1939 was nothing more that empty words and London was considered the centre of the world Jewish Masonry. The loss of Bassarabia and the Vienna Award would never have taken place if there had not been for the alignment of Romania’s foreign policy to that of the Foreign Office. Poland allegedly refused the German invitation to discussions due to English interference, thus England being blamed for the start of the Second World War itself. The activity of the governments in exile to London – who, according to the members of the Legionary Movement, led a policy opposed to the interests of their own countries - did not escape notice, as neither did the tendency of the British diplomacy to encircle Germany. The conclusion to all these was that, according to the legionaries, an alliance with England was out of the question. What is more, England had to be driven away from the continent, since its perfidiousness was the cause of all blamable events in the past, in the area of international relations.
