The group was brought into government by Romanian dictator [[Ion Antonescu]] in 1940 after he ascended to power, making it a part of the [[National Legionary State]], and, by extension, the [[Axis Powers]]. However, after Antonescu began stripping away the Iron Guard's privileges, they rebelled in what is known as the [[Legionnaire's Rebellion]]. After the rebellion's failure, Antonescu banned the Iron Guard, and ordered the Romanian army to forcibly disband it, resulting in the arrest of 9, 000 members, although several important members, including leader [[Horia Sima]], managed to escape with help from [[Nazi Germany]]. The Iron Guard preached an ideology of fascism, [[Ultranationalism|ultranationalism]], [[Anti-Semitism|anti-semitism]], extreme anti-capitalism, [[Homophobia|homophobia]] and conservative Christianity.
