Contributions regarding the role of Romania’s economy for Germany’s military efforts during the two world wars

Abstract

 Romanian historiography after the First World War focused on the importance of the 1918 moment and neglected the problems during the years of occupation. After the Second World War the communist regime did not allowed the freedom to do research regarding this subject. Finally, in recent decades, historiography has consistently tried to recover in these fields of research, but still focused on the problem of oil production and its importance for the German Army. The present study aims to capture the other industries regarding which there also was a high interest, but which have not been researched so in depth so far. A very important aspect will be to look at the level of economic development of Romania at the outbreak of the wars, in 1916 and in 1941. Also, not too much information is available regarding the other economic areas that Germany has sought to use to support their war effort. In the end, we want to reveal the changes in the attitude of the Germans regarding their economic interests in Romania, except that we will not focus on the petrochemical industry but rather on agriculture.
