Summary/Abstract: In the year 1883, the 30th of October, were signed, at Vienna, two Treaties of secret alliance, the one between Austro-Hungary and Romania, and the other among those two named States and Germany. The later was an act of the Germany’s accession at the Austro-Hungaro-Romanian alliance. The King Charles I of Romania and his Prime-Minister I. C. Brătianu insisted, in 1883, that the alliance to be considered as one à trois, and Bismarck seemed, at that moment, to agree such point of view. After five years, when the both treaties of 1883 were tacitly prolonged, Bismarck, personally, revealed the quality of Germany as of an acceding part at the Austro-Hungaro-Romanian alliance, and not as of a primarly signatory or sinalagmaticaly engaged partner of the same alliance. And as an acceding part of the Austro-Hungaro-Romanian alliance became Italy, in 1888. The Bismarck’s defectuous point of view, from 1887−1888, was officially pronounced by the German Cabinet, especially by the Chancellor Caprivi, in the year of 1892, when the all Treaties involving Romania were renewed. The secret negotiations, basically those between Bucharest and Berlin, for the renewal of the Treaties, in 1892, happened to be inevitably very strained, with consequences for long term.
