Summary/Abstract: Since 1941, Romania worked to find an alternative to the alliance with Nazi Germany. Observing the trajectory of the war in the last phase of its development, Ion Antonescu and Mihai Antonescu sought to initiate a dialogue with the representatives of the Great Powers in order to get Romania out of the conflict. Therefore, between 1942 and 1943, Romania held secret armistice negotiations, either through representatives of the Antonescu government or by important figures of the historical parties. Nevertheless, the Allies' decisions at the conferences in Casablanca, Moscow and Teheran, where Romanian delegates had to negotiate with the Soviet Union, did not allow their rapid implementation.
