Abstract

In the period between 1934 and 1939, the Romanian diplomacy continuously undertook and supported such measures and actions as to strengthen ties with Western states with a view to maintaining peace and also signing economic and financial agreements. In this context, Great Britain played an important role within the area of economic relations. e wide scope of these commercial and financial connections are primarily determined by Romania’s attempt to avoid becoming dependent on Germany; secondly, there is the need to expedite the country’s industrialization process by importing advanced technologies; and thirdly, the objective of strengthening the currency through important loans from English banks.
