Summary/Abstract: The Convention of Brăila was an extension of the Armistice of Focșani (November 26 / December 9, 1917), concluded by the Romanian army with the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey) in the wake of the unilateral decision of the Bolshevik government in Russia to cease all hostilities, thus exposing the entire eastern front. The four Russian armies in Romania complied with the order, requesting an armistice and preparing to return home. After about one month, the representatives of the two combatant forces met in Brăila in order to discuss the prolonging of the period of calm and other technical matters.
