Summary/Abstract: The 1930s world economic crisis was a decisive factor for the amplification of revisionist tendencies in Europe. The League of Nations, the organization that was supposed to ensure international peace and security, was going through a deep crisis, because the victorious powers in the First World War, France and Great Britain in particular, were unable to maintain the common front of democratic political regimes. In those difficult conditions, the task of the Romanian and French intelligence services became of utmost importance, and the collaboration between them aimed to inform the allied governments about the actions of the states whose strategic objective were to change the borders on the continent.
