ROMANIAN-RUSSIAN RELATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CONFRONTATION OF THE INTERESTS OF THE GREAT POWERS IN CENTRAL AND SOUTH-EAST EUROPE (1900-1914)

Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the evolution of Romanian-Russian relations in the 1900-1914 period. In the run-up to World War I, international relations were dominated by the Great Powers. Romania, in turn, followed, as after obtaining state independence, the line of a foreign policy capable of ensuring its state existence. By the end of the 19th century, the attitude of the great powers towards central and south-eastern Europe was about to change. Pursuing its own economic and political targets, the European Great Powers set out on diametrically opposite paths, and after some calm at the end of the century, the beginning of the twentieth century meant a tumultuous period for the Balkan states and implicitly for Romania's foreign relations.
