- Abstract
The present study is primarily based on documents in the French military and diplomatic archives. We attempted at following the evolution of the Romanian army supply during 1917, specifically in the first months from Romania's entering the World War. Nonetheless, the information in the archives regarding this stage of Romania's participation is somewhat contradictory. The reason is, though sometimes the supply was satisfactory, there were times when the allies did not follow the minimum quota of 300 tones of war materials per day, as the Military Convention in 4/17 August 1916 stipulated. The Romanian army was entitled to receive weapons and ammunition from more countries like, for example, France, England, United States, Portugal, Spain, Brazil and even Japan. Unfortunately, after the Russian revolution on 25 October / 7 November and the concluding of the truce with the Central Powers, in December at Brest Litovsk, the new order in Petrograd decided to put an end to any delivery intended for Romania. Thus, the Romanian kingdom found impossible to fight the Central Powers.
