Counterrevolution
In December 1989, the military-led National Salvation Front overthrew the socialist government of Romania and killed Nicolae Ceaușescu. They banned the Romanian Communist Party, sold Romanian industries to foreign capitalists, and repealed a law from April 1989 banning loans from the IMF.
By 1994, millions were unemployed, inflation was at 300%, and half of the population earned less than $160 per month. Racist attacks against Jews, Hungarians, and Roma people occurred all over the country. 20% of the country's population emigrated and there are now U.S. military bases across Romania.[1]
