Question
A king of this modern-day country who feuded with its National Peasant Party in the 1930s sought to protect it with the so-called “Imaginot (“IMAGINE-oh”) Line.” Marie, this country’s “wartime queen,” secured generous terms at Versailles and restored its Bran Castle. Operation Tidal Wave carpet bombed this country’s oil center of Ploiești (“ploy-YESCHT”). The Nicadori was one of the death squads linked to this country’s fascist (*) Iron Guard. In 1969, a Communist leader of this country welcomed Richard Nixon but soon cracked down on the “bourgeois” in the July Theses. That ruler of this country oversaw the Securitate and was executed on Christmas Day in 1989. For 10 points, name this country whose longtime dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu (“chow-SHESH-koo”) was executed near Bucharest. ■END■
