Summary/Abstract: The problem of endowment Romania with military equipment was particularly acute at the beginning of the First World War. One essential reason for which Romania has deliberately delayed rallying to the Entente and warfare was the insufficient equipment in terms of war materials. After the outbreak of World War I in the summer 1914, the Entente has increased efforts to achieve Romania's military contest. In these circumstances, the diplomats of the states belonging to Entente fell by the end of November 1914 the great need to deliver weapons and ammunition to Romania. 1915 marked only the beginning towards the supply of arms and ammunition in Romania. Outcomes were controversial. In the year that followed, in 1916, has made some progress in the rate of supply, but the shipped quantities were still insufficient, a peremptory proof that Romanian army had suffered shortly after the outbreak of campaign painful defeats.
