The 1922 visit of Marshall Piłsudski in Romania

Summary/Abstract: This is the short story of the first visit to Romania of Marshall Józef Piłsudski, the head of the Polish Republic. In mid-September 1922, in a embroiled European context, properly described within the article, an important Polish delegation, led by the president of the Republic, came to Romania and met with Romanian leaders: King Ferdinand, Queen Mary, the princes Carol and Nicolae, prime-minister Ion I. C. Brătianu, the minister of Foreign Affairs I. Gh. Duca and others. There were two days full of political and military discussions as well as of protocolar gatherings, fine dinners, elegant speeches, and mutual appreciation. The leaders of the two countries liked each other, the diplomats of the two countries often displayed elective affinities, and the international conduct of the two states were often harmonised.
