Summary/Abstract: On the eve of the World War I many countries and peoples of Europe were involved in actions to eliminate foreign domination and win the national independence or autonomy. Following the assassination in Sarajevo, Serbia was soon placed at the center of events that led to the outbreak of the First World War. Austria-Hungary has considered it necessary to punish the Serbs for war and triggered a pressure on the Romanian Kingdom government to obtain its participation in a possible war in the Balkans. Even if the Serbian government accepted almost all demands of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the World War I could not be prevented, a war that would end with the birth of both the Great Romania as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Their achievement was recognized by the peace treaties of 1919-1920, important documents for the official recognition of the new international order in Europe.
