The '''Iron Guard''' (''Garda de Fier'', also '''Legion of the Archangel Michael''' and '''The Legionnaires Movement''') was a [[Fascism|fascist]] movement, paramilitary organization and political party active in Romania in the 20th Century. 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]].
