Interwar Scenes (IX)
The article evokes events and realities from the interwar period: the Paris exhibition of 1937,
the inauguration of Queen Elisabeta’s Palace, Queen Maria’s death (1938), Marshal Averescu’s
death (1938), the evocation of the soprano Hariclea Darclée in the press etc. A few pages
dedicated to the “great European” and politician Nicolae Titulescu evoke the meeting between him
and Iuliu Maniu, his return to the country and to politics in 1937, the French foreign minister
Yvon Delbos’ visit to Romania, Titulescu’s involvement in the dissolution of the Iron Guard in
1933 etc. Starting with 1938 the political events in Romania rushed up: Carol II’s coup d’état
on February 10, the abolition of the 1923 Constitution, the dissolution of the political parties
on March 31.
