Biography
Ioan Popovici (16 August 1857 – 6 August 1956) was a Romanian general and commander of the Romanian 1st Army Corps from 1916 to 1918, during World War I. He attended the Școala Militară de Infanterie și Cavalerie (Military Infantry and Cavalry School) in Bucharest from 1879 to 1881. Afterward he rose through the ranks until he became a divisional general in 1916 as World War I was raging, engulfing Romania. He was known as "Provincialul" ("The Provincial") because of his ineptitude.
In World War I, he commanded the First Army Corps. The loss suffered by his command at the Battle of Sibiu (1916) led to his forced retirement.
