Decizia care a schimbat destinul României. De ce a refuzat țara noastră să intre în război alături de Germania și să atace Rusia în 1914

In August 1914, Romania chose neutrality at the onset of World War I, a decision that would later lead to its alignment with the Allies. King Carol I opposed this stance, favoring the Central Powers due to historical alliances and security concerns. Romania's strategic position was influenced by its past conflicts with Russia and the desire for territorial integrity. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand triggered a series of events that escalated tensions in Europe, forcing Romania to reconsider its alliances. Despite pressure from the Central Powers, Romania ultimately sought to protect its national interests by remaining neutral initially, reflecting a complex interplay of political and national aspirations.
