Treaty of Bucharest (1918)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Bucharest was a peace treaty which the German Empire forced Romania to sign on May 7, 1918, following the Romanian campaign of 1916-1917.
Among its terms:
- Romania had to return Southern Dobruja (the Cadrilater) and to cede the southern part of Northern Dobruja (see the map) to Bulgaria, while the rest of the province remained under the joint control of the Central Powers.
- Romania had to give Austria-Hungary control of the passes of the Carpathian Mountains.
- Romania had to lease its oil wells to Germany for 90 years.
However, King Ferdinand I of Romania refused to sign the treaty (already ratified by the Romanian Parliament) and after the Central Powers were defeated in November 1918, it was nullified by the Marghiloman government and the terms of the Armistice of 11 November.
In 1919, Germany agreed to the Treaty of Versailles, Article 259 of which obliged it to renounce all the benefits provided by the Treaty of Bucharest in 1918.[1]
