Pacea separată a României cu Puterile Centrale și reacția diplomatică a Antantei. Cazul italian
Romania’s Separate Peace with the Central Powers and the Diplomatic Reaction of the Entente. The Italian Case

Summary/Abstract: The year of 1917 brought noteworthy developments with regards to Romania’s strategic position. After the defeats suffered in the fall of the previous year, which led to occupation of the sourthern part of the country – including capital Bucharest – by the Central Powers, something that prompted some of the allies within the Entente to doubt the worth of the Romanian army, the Romanian political and military decision-makers managed to restore the country’s war potential. Standing proof of this impressive feat were the victories from Mărăști, Oituz and Mărășești of July/August 1917, which were immediately praised by the Entente and acknowledged by the enemy. However, in 1918 the tide turned once again, Romania seeing itself forced to make a separate peace with the Central Powers, a decision that could have seriously damaged the country’s standing within the Entente.
