Romania’s main goal was to annex Transylvania and create a Greater Romania. In 1916, Romania entered the war on the side of the Entente, hoping to gain Transylvania in exchange for its participation. However, Romania was soon invaded and occupied by the Central Powers, who inflicted heavy casualties and damage on the Romanian army and population. Romania signed the Treaty of Bucharest (1918) with the Central Powers, which forced it to cede Dobruja to Bulgaria and allow German exploitation of its resources. However, Romania re-entered the war in November 1918, after the collapse of the Central Powers. Romania occupied Transylvania and joined the victorious Entente. The Treaty of Versailles (1919) and the Treaty of Trianon (1920) confirmed Romania’s acquisition of Transylvania, as well as Bessarabia and Bukovina, which had been part of the Russian Empire. | ||
