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 They banned the [[Romanian Communist Party]], sold Romanian industries to foreign [[Bourgeoisie|capitalists]], and repealed a law from April 1989 banning loans from the [[International Monetary Fund|IMF]].<br />

By 1994, millions were unemployed, inflation was at 300%, and half of the population earned less than $160 per month. [[Racism|Racist]] attacks against [[Judaism|Jews]], Hungarians, and [[Romani people|Roma]] people occurred all over the country. 20% of the country's population emigrated and there are now U.S. military bases across Romania.<ref name=":0" /><br />
