== Name == The "Legion of the [[Michael (archangel)|Archangel Michael]]" ({{Langx|ro|Legiunea Arhangelul Mihail|lit=The Archangel Michael Legion}}) was founded by [[Corneliu Zelea Codreanu]] on 24 June 1927 and led by him until his assassination in 1938. Despite various changes of the (intermittently banned) organization's name, members of the movement were widely referred to as "legionnaires" (sometimes "legionaries"; {{langx|ro|legionarii}}) and the organization as the "Legion" or the "Legionary Movement". In March 1930, Codreanu formed the "Iron Guard" ({{Langx|ro|Garda de Fier}}) as a [[paramilitary]] political branch of the Legion; this name eventually came to refer to the Legion itself.<ref name="britannica.com"/> From June 1935 onwards, the organization used the name "Totul pentru Țară", literally meaning "Everything for the Country", in electoral contexts.<ref>"Totul pentru Țară" is translated as "Everything for the Fatherland" in "[[Collier's Encyclopedia]]" material that is now incorporated into "[[Encarta]]" as a sidebar ([http://encarta.msn.com/sidebar_461500758/1938_Rumania.html 1938: Rumania] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090831225009/http://encarta.msn.com/sidebar_461500758/1938_Rumania.html |date=2009-08-31}}) and in the "[[Encyclopædia Britannica]]" article [https://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9042802 Iron Guard] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060603170752/http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9042802 |date=2006-06-03}}; the [[International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania]] uses "Everything for the Motherland" in the English-language version of its November 11, 2004 [http://www.ushmm.org/research/center/presentations/programs/presentations/2005-03-10/pdf/english/chapter_03.pdf Final Report] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060129104944/http://www.ushmm.org/research/center/presentations/programs/presentations/2005-03-10/pdf/english/chapter_03.pdf |date=2006-01-29}} ([[PDF]]).
