Summary/Abstract: Shortly after the Romanian Military campaign in Bulgaria in 1913, the unreconciled and declared hatred of Bulgarian politicians, who instigated their own people, through the massive propaganda triggered against Romania, became more and more evident, in revenge, which was not long overdue. Influenced by the intrigues of the great powers interested in tightening relations between the Balkan States, Greece and Serbia on the one hand and Bulgaria on the other could at any time become the spark to trigger the desolating fire of the war. The mentioned international context determined the representatives of the Romanian General Staff, immediately after the conclusion of the peace in Bucharest in the summer of 1913, to designate Section 3 operations with the design of new war hypotheses, which foresaw conflicts in the south, north and north-west and east.
