Nicolae Iorga, Professor at the Superior War School in Bucharest

Summary/Abstract: The study analyses the activity of N. Iorga at the Higher War School, the highest institution of Romanian military education, created in 1889. Iorga stood in front of the future commanders of units and large units for over three decades, until his tragic end (November 27, 1940). He is part of the series of great Romanian scientists who lectured in front of the Romanian military elite such as: Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu, Nicolae Densușianu, Mihail Manoilescu, Simion Mehedinți, Gheorghe I. Brătianu and others. The issues addressed by N. Iorga in his course were vast: the role of the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Rhine, Danube in the universal history from antiquity to his time, the development of political and social settlements of Europe, the role of representative people in waging wars; moods and military conflicts, etc. All the other courses taught by Nicolae Iorga at the Superior School of War brought to the forefront elements of great novelty, both in the manner of tackling the subject, but also as useful historical information, with the lessons learned, for a specialized auditor. Throughout his didactic and scientific activity, N. Iorga was a teacher and mentor of the officer corps, contributing to the strengthening of the Romanian Army.
