Summary/Abstract: In this article, there is presented the way in which the adversaries of Great Romania made efforts to fight for its dismemberment, immediately after 1918. The Great Union coincided with the revolution from 1917, and the reinvigoration of revisionism, due to the degree of permissiveness in the Peace Treaties from Paris-Versailles, 1919-1920. The actions meant to destabilise Romania were carried out both from the interior and exterior. There were subversive, violent actions, coordinated by the Soviet and German secret services. Romania did not manage to have a position on the international plan for counteracting the effects of the German and Soviet proximity, which had been foreseen by the diplomat Nicolae Titulescu. In the 22 years, the period Great Romania resisted, there could be seen how complex the evolution of the internal and external politics was, promoted by the decisional factors from Bucharest. The conclusion is that the degradation of the international political system, the ascension of the revisionism, the lack of a coherent dialogue between the representatives of the Romanian political currents, the emerging and the evolution of the extremes represent the causes that led to the collapse of Great Romania, in the summer of 1940.
