The final purpose was that the end of the war should find us prepared to sustain our national interests.Mihai Antonescu says that after - war Europe "can only be a continent where the community of thought and reconsidering the antagonisms may build a free family of nations that are aware of their responsability".He could not see the result of these Ideas which are still very important now-a-days. Condemned to death within the trial of sad memory, he was executed on June 1, 1946.
