| Summary: | Nothing predicted or announced after the outbreak and during the Great war the unification of the territory between the Prut and the Nistru River, with the Kingdom of Roamania on 27 March 1918. Bessarabia seemed lost for the Romanian cause.The geopolitics of time required the Romanian state choose the alliance with Antanta, a group of forces that included Englands, France and Tsarist Empire, and as a consequence, Romania had to give up its claim to bring back the province abducted from the body of Moldavia by this power in 1812. The issue sparked a lively debate in the Romanian society and the meeting of the Romanian Parliament in late 1915, during the debates on the Message of the Throne, in his speech Constantin Stere stated:”A nation can not live without an ideal.”At the same meeting, Take Ionescu replied to the main followers of the war against Russia, Constantin Stere and P.P. Carp. P.P. Carp argued that politics is a matter of morality an not of interest, and Take’s golden mouth, as the leaderof the democratic conservatives in Romania was called , said that at that time the”policy of the nation’s instinct” was imposed.Take Ionescu had a free thinking and had no anti-Russian phobias, and moreover, if he pragmatically balanced what could win the Romanian state from the alliance with Antanta, then it was clear that Romania had to enter the war alongside this grouping of forces, however, the same political person was no longer as easy as an attitude at the end of 1917, when his girlfriend Adela Cordescu was in Odessa, and this fact made him less intransigent with the actions of the Bolshevik troops an anarchists, which caused disorder an chaos in Socola - Iasi. P.P. Carp did not owe him, and, characterizing Take Ionescu’s personality, said that “as beauty does not justify all prostitution, talent does not justify all incarnations.”. |
