Doi ani de neutralitate și un tratat secret: cum a negociat Ionel Brătianu intrarea României în război. „Să ne vedem de necazurile noastre“

On August 27, 1916, Romania officially entered World War I after two years of neutrality, driven by pressure from the Allies and secret negotiations. The declaration of war against Austria-Hungary was made by Romanian Foreign Minister Edgar Mavrocordat, leading to immediate military action. Romania faced a dual threat from the Central Powers, including Germany and Bulgaria, as it prepared to defend a vast front. Despite the risks, Romanian authorities believed they made the right decision, influenced by diplomatic pressures and historical alliances. Prime Minister Ionel Brătianu skillfully negotiated with the Allies for territorial guarantees and military support, aiming to secure Romania's future amidst the ongoing conflict.
