Nicolae Iorga, Supporter of the Serbian Cause during the World War I

Summary/Abstract: Nicolae Iorga was not only a great historian, but also a leader of public life in Romania, who pronounced himself in his many writings and actions on very diverse issues. In the years before World War I he began to defend the national aspirations of the Serbian people, which were prevented by Austro-Hungary. After the outbreak of the Great War, Iorga published numerous articles and held several conferences in which he praised the Serbian people’s heroism and condemned the brutal behavior to Serbs of the Central Powers occupation authorities in Serbia. Immediately after the war, Iorga noted in his daily notes also the abusive behavior of the Serbian occupation authorities in Banat. However, during the interwar period, Iorga was one of the supporters of maintaining good relations between Romania and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia), which he visited several times.
