Eforturi politico-diplomatice pentru apărarea României Mari, 1918-1940, I
Political and Diplomatic Efforts for the Defending of Greater Romania, 1918-1940, I

Summary/Abstract: The system of the Versailles peace treaties and the international order set up by it provided Romania with the possibility of acknowledgement of the document of December 1, 1918 by the Chancelleries of the great power centres of the world, which made it impossible to abandon the system. However, there was a sum of secret information and political-economic analyses at the time that allowed the Romanian political and state people to consider a reversal of traditional alliances. Situated in a sensitive geopolitical area, Romania would face various dangers, ranging from Hungarian revisionism to the expansion of communism, as well as the southern neighbour's lusts. The politicians and military leaders in Bucharest remained tributaries to the obsolete principles in understanding the new movements in the international relations arena. Our geopolitical and geostrategic attitudes had implicitly involved us in the march of the great games and geopolitical changes of the mid-20th century and were, unfortunately, fatal in our becoming as a nation and in our desire of progress and modernity.
