Summary/Abstract: Nicolae Titulescu (1882–1941) had a turbulent career, in Bucharest and on the European diplomatic scene, even though he always searched for a mutual understanding and tried to avoid conflicts. After his fall from grace and banishment from Romanian politics, Titulescu was almost forgotten until his memory became a symbol for Romanian diplomacy. His legacy is that of an extremely active diplomat, an important presence at European level, defined by insistence, imagination, and argumentative precision. Unfortunately, the diplomatic structure built by Titulescu could not withstand the revisionist pressures in Europe.
