ROMANIA AND THE CENTRAL POWERS (AUGUST 1913 – JUNE 1914)
ROMANIA AND THE CENTRAL POWERS (AUGUST 1913 – JUNE 1914)

Summary/Abstract: The author researched the orientation of Romania’s foreign politics regarding the politico-military groups of the great powers, the Triple Aliance and the Triple Entente, during the period between the Treaty of Bucharest from 1913 and the crisis from July 1914, which prefaced the ignition of the First World War. The study represents a thorough treatise of the evolution of the relations between Romania and Austro-Hungarian Empire, which were mostly determinated by the politics of the Hungarian government towards the Romanians from Transylvania, but also by Wien’s and Berlin’s diplomatic efforts to maintain Romania in the political orbit of the Central Powers. The author emphasizes the main factors that contributed to Romania’s detachment from the Central Powers and to its external politics reorientation towards the Entente.
