Summary/Abstract: How could a state and its leadership abandon without resistance millions of its citizens and almost a third of its territory, like Romania did in 1940? It’s a disturbing question and simply blaming the external factors is not sufficient, nor fair to the Romanian society. The events from the summer of 1940 are all the more shocking considering that the regime the King himself and his regime were pushing the pedal of nationalism, promising the citizens of Greater Romania that every swath of land will be defended under any circumstances, at any cost.
