Promisiuni de reformă agrară şi realitatea din Teleorman la sfârşitul Primului Război Mondial
Agrarian reform promises and the reality within the Teleorman County at the end of the First World War

Summary/Abstract: This article highlights the important agrarian reform of 1921, the true motivation of Romanian soldiers for going to war. It so happened that it was debated during the war years; it was applied from December 15, 1918, and it coincided with the years of troubles and then with the settling within a new Romanian national unitary state. For legislators, a special category was created when granting land; such category comprised the soldiers and officers who had been to war. Based on archive documents, the article features cases when soldiers returned from the front to find tables already drafted up, without them in the tables; some others remained without any land until their military situation was clarified. There were also war widows who did not get any land. Furthermore, General Gheorghe Mărdărescu of Iaşi received some land, but in the town of Alexandria. The First World War led to the Greater Romania, and the agrarian reform changed the Romanian society.
