Summary/Abstract: We have tried to show so far all the reasons which determined the Aromanians to answer the summons of the Romanian authorities and settle in Southern Dobrogea. There existed, moreover, logistic imperatives which did not allow the Aromanians to live in the Balkans any longer. Population density in the two counties of Southern Dobogea, namely Durostor and Caliacra, was the lowest in Romania at the time. Besides, the authorities were aware that the Aromanian groups, forming as they did a community of Romanian culture, could be urged to settle in the Cadrilater and thus acculturate the local Turk, Tatar and Bulgarian populations.
