THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE GENERAL STAFF IN THE CONTEXT OF THE NATIONAL STATE DEVELOPMENT

Summary/Abstract: The establishment of the General Staff was an important moment in the assertion of Romania as a European entity. The armed forces played an important role in bringing our country into line with the developed states of the continent, particularly in achieving the aspirations of the nation and making a change in the international status of Romania. The author states that the General Staff was one of the factors that would ensure the success of such complex processes. During the reign of Alexandru Ioan Cuza and then at the beginning of the one of Carol I, a spectacular development and strengthening of the Armed Forces of the Romanian national state took place. The number of infantry regiments increased, the cavalry and artillery were given full attention and an engineering regiment was established. Less than two decades after, the War of Independence would confirm the level reached by the Romanian Armed Forces.
