This text presents a study of the diplomacy of Ioan I C Britianu during and at the conclusion of World War I, that led to the formation of Greater Romania. Britianu was adept in the art of playing nations against each other for his own benefit. The uncertainty in which he left the great powers as to the side Romania would eventually join was, argues the author, a masterpiece of political strategy. The text describes the successful struggle waged by the Romanian government for recognition of the provisions of the Secret Treaty of 1916 and looks at events surrounding the determination of Romania's frontiers, ensuring that Romania emerged with her territory and population doubled, the sixth largest country in Europe and the dominant state in Southeastern Europe.Spector, Sherman David is the author of 'Romania at the Paris Peace Conference A Study of the Diplomacy of Ioan I.C.
