General Prezan commanded the [[4th Army Corps (Romania)|4th Army Corps]] in 1915-1916, and then became head of the [[Romanian Fourth Army]] during the [[Romanian Campaign (World War I)|Romanian Campaign]] later in 1916. Prezan led the Romanian Armed Forces as it retreated into the northeastern part of [[Romania]] ([[Moldavia]]), and also in the Battle of [[Bucharest]] (November 1916). In July and August 1917, Prezan, who was by then Chief of the General Staff (and assisted by the then-Lieutenant-Colonel [[Ion Antonescu]]) successfully stopped the German invasion led by Field Marshal [[August von Mackensen]]. He continued serving in this position until 1920.<br> Documents found in military archives have brought to light Prezan's role in creating the Romanian National State. During the campaign of 1916, Prezan was rewarded with the [[Order of Michael the Brave|Mihai Viteazu Order]], Third Class for deeds of merit, courage, and devotion. In the summer of 1917, when he commanded the General Army Quarters, Prezan was honoured with Mihai Viteazu Order, Second Class. During the [[Hungarian–Romanian War]] (November 1918- March 1920), Prezan led the [[Romanian Armed Forces]] in the battles of [[Bessarabia]], [[Bukovina]], and [[Transylvania]]. [[Ferdinand I of Romania|King Ferdinand]] awarded his outstanding service with the Mihai Viteazu Order, First Class.<br> Prezan was promoted as Marshal of Romania in 1930. A major [[boulevard]] in Bucharest is named after him. ==References== *[http://www.firstworldwar.com/bio/prezan.htm Who's Who: Constantine Prezan] {{Marshals of Romania}} {{SMG chiefs}} {{Authority control}} {{Showfacts children |children-g1= Constanţa Prezan (1890-c1960) |children-g1 sources= |children-g1 notes= |children-g2= |children-g2 sources= |children-g2 notes= }} {{siblings}} {{showfacts awards}}{{showfacts journeys}}{{showfacts residences}}{{showfacts workhistory}}{{showfacts military}}{{showfacts religious}}{{showfacts community}} {{footer}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Prezan, Constantin}} [[Category:Field marshals of Romania]] [[Category:People from Dâmbovița County]] [[Category:Romanian Army World War I generals]] [[Category:Chiefs of the General Staff of Romania]] [[Category:Recipients of the Order of Michael the Brave]] [[Category:Honorary members of the Romanian Academy]] {{Born|1861}} {{Died|1943}} {{Born|Sterianu de Mijloc, Dâmbovița}} {{Died|Bucharest}} [[Category:Burials in Schinetea, Vaslui]]
