Summary/Abstract: The interwar period is highlighted at European level through certain projects that are shaped by the continental unification, mainly as a reply to the worldwide war, through promoters such as Kalergi, Briand or Tardieu. In the Central and Eastern area, these ideas reverberate themselves and receive echo in initiatives such as the Little Entente or the Balkan agreement. Romania plays a catalyst role in all these initiatives, and, moreover, suggests, through the voices of ministers Maniu, Madgearu or Mironescu, the issuance of continental unification projects that find their place in the European debate of the epoch.
