Alexandru Averescu was a Romanian marshal,diplomat and populist politician. A Romanian Armed Forces Commander during World War I,he served as Prime Minister of three separate cabinets. He first rose to prominence during the peasants' revolt of 1907,which he helped repress with violence. Credited with engineering the defense of Moldavia in the 1916–1917 Campaign,he built on his popularity to found and lead the successful People's Party,which he brought to power in 1920–1921,with backing from King Ferdinand I and the National Liberal Party (PNL),and with the notable participation of Constantin Argetoianu and Take Ionescu.
Take or Tache Ionescu was a Romanian centrist politician,journalist,lawyer and diplomat,who also enjoyed reputation as a short story author. Starting his political career as a radical member of the National Liberal Party (PNL),he joined the Conservative Party in 1891,and became noted as a social conservative expressing support for several progressive and nationalist tenets. Ionescu is generally viewed as embodying the rise of middle-class politics inside the early 20th century Kingdom of Romania,and,throughout the period,promoted a project of Balkan alliances while calling for measures to incorporate the Romanian-inhabited Austro-Hungarian regions of Transylvania,Banat and Bukovina. Representing his own faction inside the Conservative Party,he clashed with the group's leadership in 1907–1908,and consequently created and led his own Conservative-Democratic Party.

Teodor Boldur-Lățescu was a Romanian politician,essayist and newspaper publisher,best known for his violent advocacy of Moldavian separatism. Born into an ancient clan of Moldavian boyars,and claiming Montenegrin Balšićdescent on his maternal side,he was unable to maintain his economic status,and eventually had to work as a lawyer. In his late teens,he debuted in politics as an adherent of the National Party,which sought to establish political ties between the Romanian populations of Moldavia and Wallachia. Boldur-Lățescu was disenchanted with the single Romanian state formed in 1859,emerging as an outspoken adversary of its Domnitor,Alexandru Ioan Cuza. His embrace of political separatism took a radical and controversial form,which included stereotyping Wallachians as Gypsies and circulating a historical forgery,the Chronicle of Huru. During the interregnum which followed Cuza's toppling by the "monstrous coalition" in February 1866,he joined a separatist caucus in Iași,convincing Nicolae Rosetti-Rosnovanu to claim the Moldavian throne.
