Summary/Abstract: : Only few people in nowadays Romania may actually state who Constantin Argetoianu was and what did he do for his country. Out of those who know, most might consider that his return to the after war Romania had been the greatest error he did in his life, considering the fact that he was arrested, incarcerated at the age of 79 and died in prison in very harsh conditions. So WHY did he come back? A lot of historians consider that the period 1944 -1946 was a curious one for the well-known cynical Argetoianu, who eventually made the leap: despite the warnings, he came back home. Although almost all historians consider that he came with the purpose of creating a new party and ideology, we try to argument that, behind that decision to return, there were a lot of other reasons, such as disease, home sick and the feeling that death was near.
