บท 156: A Visit To Romania

Romania was a nation whose contributions to the Great War in Bruno's past life were less than significant. In fact, what it was most well known for was losing about one tenth of its population during the entire conflict.

By the time they entered the war in 1916, Romania had a population of roughly 7 million, and by the time the Armistice of Focșani was signed roughly a year later, over 700,000 soldiers and civilians had died due to causes related to the war.

It was an unmitigated disaster for the Romanians who had entered the war on behalf of the Allied Powers for the sake of seizing many lands that belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary as part of their ambitions to untie "Greater Romania."

Of course, the victory the Central Powers gained over the Kingdom of Romania in 1917, much like the one they gained over the Russian Empire that same year was nullified when the war finally ended in the Allied Powers favor a year after these treaties were signed.
