Straja Țării (Romanian - roughly, ''The Sentinel of the Motherland''; also known as Străjeria - translatable as ''The Sentinel'') was a paramilitary youth organization in the Kingdom of Romania, created in 1935 by King Carol II to counter the growing influence the Iron Guard had over the youth of Romania. Its members were known as ''străjeri'' ("sentinels"), and used a form of the Roman salute as greeting. ==Character== The monarch modelled it on the Nazi Germany's Hitler Youth, and took inspiration from other fascist groups such as the Italian Balilla. This shape became more obvious on December 3, 1938, when ''Straja Țării'' was re-organized along the lines of Carol's personal regime (''see National Renaissance Front''), replacing all existing youth movements, including Scouting, and became overseer of sports and all other activities. Although the King was often referred to ''Marele Străjer'' ("The Great Sentinel"), the actual leaders of the group were General Teofil Sidorovici and Nisa Cămărășescu. All boys aged 7 to 18 and all girls between 7 and 21 were supposed to join. A body comprising 18- to 21-year-old boys completed ''Straja'', and it was responsible for offering low-level military education and training. Members were bound by a ''Crez'' ("Credo"), which read: "Credință și muncă pentru Țară și Rege ("Faith and labour for Country and King. 1. I believe in God and the Church of my ancestors; 2. I believe in the King of the Country, our Great Sentinel, the Leader of the Romanian People's destinies; 3. I believe in labour and sacrifice — dedicating my entire being to the advancement and prosperity of the Motherland; 4. I believe in ''Straja Țării'' — the guarantee of the People's Unity, of the Borders and of the Romanian Soul.") 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Straja Țării」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
