Summary/Abstract: The author presents the activity of the Romanian antiaircraft artillery in the 1916-1919 campaigns. Thus, the spring and summer of 1918 were not favourable for the Central Powers. The German Armed Forces launched several offensives on the Western Front, but all of them failed. The fate of the First World War was to be decided in the autumn. On 16/29 September, Bulgaria signed the armistice in Thessalonica, following a large-scale action conducted by the Entente. On 17/30 October, Turkey exited from war (the Armistice of Mudros), forced by the English from Palestine and Syria. Austria-Hungary was defeated by Italy and signed the Armistice of Villa Giusti, on 21 October/3 November. Finally, on 29 October/11 November 1918, following the Armistice of Compiègne, the German Armed Forces capitulated and the First World War ended.
