Abstract
In the spring of 1939, Grigore Gafencu, the Foreign Minister of Romania, made a report journey in Western Europe. The Romanian government was much interested in the attitudes of the main European Powers, pre-eminently in that of Great Britain, France and Germany. As a result of this diplomatic journey, Gafencu strongly believed that Germany had replaced its expansionist policy with an agressive one. At the same time, he informed the authorities from Bucharest that Romania could not hope for any substantial aid from France and Great Britain and that the intentions of Germany aimed mainly at Romania. The situation was even more serious, as the evolution of events in Europe gave new hopes to the Irredentist movement in Romania.
