Great Britain and its Geostrategic Interest in the Down Danube – Black Sea Area (1930-1939)

Summary/Abstract: The article entitled “Great Britain and its geostrategic interest in the Down Danube – Black Sea area (1930-1939)”, elaborated on the basis of several documents – published and unpublished – whose existence resides in the archives and studies of several historians, refers to the military and diplomatic relations between Great Britain and Romania in the 4th decade of the 20th century. I have analyzed especially England’s wish that a military harbor be build in Taşaul (Dobrogea), capable of “meeting the high standards for Europe’s safety”. Romania was also preoccupied with both building a military fleet and a modern military naval base. In order to accomplish these wishes, several negotiations were opened between the two states: Great Britain and Romania.
