ROMANIA MILITARY POTENTIAL DURING THE INTERWAR PERIOD
ROMANIA MILITARY POTENTIAL DURING THE INTERWAR PERIOD

Summary/Abstract: Modern warfare introduced a new concept to military theory– that of military potential (war potential) of a state. During the interwar period, this concept was intensely analysed and debated by military theorists, their ideas and papers enhancing Romanian military thinking. One of the main conclusions drawn by military theorists was that international politics was nothing more than a latent war between industrial and financial potentials of states. During the interwar period as well as during the Second World War, demography, economy and morale were the most important factors of the Romanian military potential. Moreover, the shortcomings in supplying the armed forces with modern weaponry and equipment influenced both the decision-making and the military potential.
