Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the impact of the armistice signed by the Allies with Badoglio’s government in Italy in 1943 on allied armistice with Romania in 1944. The study is based on the theory that the text of the Italian armistice and the way in which the government was established in Italy were the model by which the government was built in Romania a few years later. The Soviets insisted on reciprocity, expecting that its influence in Romania would correspond to military and political influence of the USA in Italy. The central institution through which the regime in Romania was established, the Allied Control Commission, was a direct result of the signing of the Armistice with the Romanian delegation in Moscow in September 1944.
