 Ion I. C. Brătianu also known as Ionel Brătianu;
20 August 1864 – 24 November 1927) was
a Romanian politician, leader of the National
Liberal Party (PNL), Prime Minister of Romania for
five terms, and Foreign Minister on several
occasions; he was the eldest son of statesman and
PNL leader Ion Brătianu, the brother
ofVintilă and Dinu Brătianu, and the father
of Gheorghe I. Brătianu. Ion I. C. Brătianu's
political activities after World War I, including part
of his third and fourth term, saw the unification of
the Old Romanian
Kingdom withTransylvania, Bukovina and Bessara
bia (see: Greater Romania). In 1923, he was elected
an honorary member of the Romanian Academy.
 Born at Florica, his father's estate
in Ștefănești,Argeș County, he completed his
secondary education at the Saint Sava National
College in Bucharest (1882). He then volunteered
for the RomanianArmy's artillery, serving for six
months before becoming a Second lieutenant.
During his military service, Brătianu
studied engineering. He left for Paris in 1883, and
attended the Collège Sainte-Barbe, then took
classes (without being a registered student) at
the École Nationale des Ponts et
Chaussées (1884–1889). Brătianu received an
engineer's diploma, but not a licence to practice.
 In 1889, he returned to the country and was
assigned orders by the Army, being promoted
to Lieutenant. Later in that year, he joined
the Romanian Railways as an engineer, working
under the leadership of Anghel Saligny.
 He became a member of the PNL in 1895, the same year he ran in
elections and was elected to the Parliament of Romania by the Ist
College (of the landed gentry) in Gorj County. In early 1899, he was in the
majority that voted in favor of the entry of former members of
the Romanian Social-DemocraticWorkers' Party into the PNL. He served
as Minister of PublicWorks (March 31, 1897-March 30, 1899; February 14,
1901-July 18, 1902) and Minister of the Interior (March 12, 1907-
December 27, 1908) - the latter assignment was prompted by the effects
of the 1907 Peasants' Revolt. In 1909, he was elected head of the
National Liberals, a position he was to hold until his death; he first
became Prime Minister in January 1909, and kept the office until
December 28, 1910.
 As the elections of 1926 confirmed the rise of the National
Peasants' Party (created as the union of the Romanian
National and Peasants' parties), King Ferdinand again
called on Averescu to form the government. By that
moment, the general was thought by the PNL to be a
convenient agent of its own policies, butAverescu's
negotiations for a return of the disinherited Prince
Carol after his father's imminent death made Brătianu
switch his support to a broad coalition
government under Barbu Ştirbey.
 On June 21, 1927, Brătianu returned with his fifth and final
cabinet. He died in Bucharest, from complications
of laryngitis, and was replaced as Prime Minister by his
brotherVintilă Brătianu until the calling of elections.
