Ecouri diplomatice italiene la demersurile pentru intrarea României în Primul Război Mondial (1916)
Italian Diplomatic Echoes to the Demarches for Romania’s Entry Into World War 1 (1916)

Summary/Abstract: At the outbreak of World War 1, Italy and Romania had a similar conduct, both refusing to enter the war alongside the alliance they were part of, namely the Central Powers. They opted to remain neutral in the conflict triggered by the attack on Serbia by Austria-Hungary, which soon spread globally. Subsequently, despite the bilateral agreements by which both countries committed themselves to act in a concerted fashion, Italy acted unilaterally, entering the war in May 1915. Having become part of the Entente, Italy embraced – alongside France and Great Britain – the formula proposed by Russia and reflected in the political convention signed in Bucharest on August 4/17, 1916. The terms of the treaty between Romania and the Entente were predetermined by the provisions of the Treaty of London of 1915, and Italy’s action set the model by which the Romanian authorities promoted their interests.
