Summary/Abstract: The Polish-Bolshevik war of 1919-1921 emphasized Poland’s need for establishing supply routes in case of another conflict. Given the political situation on the European continent, Romania was chosen to become a transport hub for war material from Great Britain and France. To this end, steps were taken to establish a Polish Transshipment Base in the Romanian port of Galați. From there, the military equipment delivered on ships was to be transshipped to railroad cars and sent to Poland.
