- Abstract
The situation of Romania, ally of the Axis and participant in the invasion of Soviet Union of June 22, 1941, inspired many analyses and projects from the Allies camp. Soviet Union issued the first projects at a time when the result of war was far from being decided. From December, 1941, Stalin asked for the restoration of border of June 28, 1941, for right to set up military bases in Romania and the annexation of the Danube Delta. For Great Britain, Romania was taken in consideration only in the context of a possible Balkan military operation, closely linked to the position of Turkey. As regards the United States, which were hostile, from the beginning, to such deployment, the perception regarding Romania did not differ much from the British, but they drew attention to the perspectives of the Soviet presence in Central Europe and the need to make something to prevent such situation develop.
