With the war's end the pre-eminent powers ( United States, France and United Kingdom) largely broke with their promises to lesser allies. In exchange for promises of significant territorial expansion, Romania sided with France and the United Kingdom in 1916. Romania was a member of the victorious Entente when World War I ended in 1918. To meet these threats, Romania has many options available, and its main choices are joining with the Soviet Union, Germany,and United Kingdom, and/or becoming a major power through the "Balkan Dominance" path or forming the "Cordon Sanitaire" faction with Czechoslovakia and Poland.ĭue to its web of alliances formed in the interwar years: Little Entente, Polish-Romanian Alliance and Balkan Pact depending on the actions of its neighbours, Romania can alternatively join the Entente if France follows the "Confirm Eastern Commitments" path, the Czech Entente should Czechoslovakia follow the "An Entente of Our Own" path or the Balkan Entete should Turkey follow the "Continue to Prioritize Balkan Integrity" path. Both the Soviet Union and Germany will soon demand territories from Romania. Because of this, the player can easily switch between what ideology he deems fit for the moment and allows Romania to have a truly flexible foreign policy.ĭespite its start as the strongest nation in the Balkans, Romania is surrounded by existential threats from the west and east alike. The communist and fascist paths can end with the forced abdication of King Carol II and then the King Michael's Coup leading to the restoration of democracy as it happened historically.
Further down the road, Romania can change its ideology yet again based on what king of government King Carol II decides to install: a loyalist government leading to greater support for the king and stronger Sentinels of the Motherland paramilitary units, a communist cabinet leading to the establishment of Securitate, a fascist government leading to the installment of the Iron Guard or the restoration of democracy under a pro-Allied government. Historically, it happened in 1938, however, the player can institute it as soon as 1936.
Its other three neighbors are the Soviet Union who will soon purge most of their command, Czechoslovakia who has far greater concerns, and Poland who is friendly but will soon be invaded by Germany.Īlthough Romania starts out as a constitutional monarchy similar to United Kingdom, the "Institute Royal Dictatorship" path allows her to turn into a de facto absolute monarchy. Hungary is disarmed, Yugoslavia has great internal turmoil, and Bulgaria poses no threat.
Romania is a country located in the north-eastern Balkans.
