In the mind of the Groza government , the 1946 election confirmed it in office . This claim was made in the face of protests by the United States and the United Kingdom who held that , pursuant to the agreements reached at the Yalta Conference in 1945 , only " interim governmental authorities broadly representative of the population " , should be supported by the major powers . As a result , Groza 's government was permanently estranged from the United States and Great Britain , who nominally supported the waning influence of the monarchist forces under King Michael I
