Romania's Desperate WW2 Gamble That Backfired

Romania made one of the most desperate gambles of World War II —
switching sides mid-war after the catastrophe at Stalingrad,
hoping to save its sovereignty. It failed.

In this video, we break down:
→ Why Romania joined the Axis in 1940
→ The disaster on the Eastern Front & the fall at Stalingrad
→ King Michael's last-minute coup to join the Allies
→ How the Soviet Union ignored it and took Romania anyway

Romania's story is one of WW2's most overlooked tragedies —
a nation that played every card it had and still ended up a
Soviet satellite state.
