Summary/Abstract: The relations between Romania and Bulgaria in 1938-1940 were decisively influenced by Bulgarian revisionism, especially by Bulgarian territorial claims against Romania. Finally, in 31 July 1940, Hitler dictated to Romania to cease Southern Dobroudja. Romania obeyed and signed the Treaty of Craiova in 7 September 1940 throughout Southern Dobroudja passed as a part of Bulgaria. The Treaty also established an exchange of populations. This article analyses the Treaty of Craiova and also the positions of Bulgarian historiography concerning this treaty.
