Kingdom of Romania (Central Victory)

Role in the First World War
Romania entered the war in August 1916 on the Allied side. They entered when the British King George V agreed to give Romania a large portion of Austria-Hungary.

The Romanian military campaign ended in disaster for Romania as the Central Powers conquered two-thirds of the country and captured or killed the majority of its army within four months. Nevertheless, Moldova remained in Romanian hands after the invading forces were stopped in 1917. Since by the war's end, the Russian Empire had collapsed, Bessarabia was ceded to the Kingdom of Romania in 1918.

Interwar Years
Romania was completely humiliated by the war and in 1926 the military commanders of Romania lead a revolution that dethroned the monarchy.

Romania was a military dictatorship for a year and then a Socialist government was installed. In 1934, Romania managed to stop supplying Germany with oil on the grounds that the oil wells had run dry, even though they were fine. Romania then joined the Red Powers and began rebuilding her military under Soviet supervision.
