Was there a nation more pathetic than Romania during World War 1?

Bulgaria?

no

Austria-Hungary.

It's neighbours.

Italy with Cadorna in charge.

Nah, Bulgaria kicked ass, including Romanian ass, for quite some time.

Good nomination.

>Was there a nation more pathetic than Romania during World War 1?
Sebia.

I can't fucking believe they got all that clay for being a fuck up in ww1. Transylvania is hungarian! REEEEE

>wins great amounts of land despite underperforming
>pathetic
I hate jealous people.

AH
no lol

do Romanians have a single war won by them in their history, without just lucking out, joining some alliance, doing nothing and still getting clay?
Its probably the worst european country in warfare

and why did fascism become powerful a movement in this country if they made so many gainzz after WWI?

>entire Romanian history is them being surrounded by bigger countries and empires.
>win plenty of battles against Ottomans and manage to remain somewhat independent by becoming a vassal instead of outright annexation.
>gain huge amounts of land due to succesful alliances in WW1.
>armchair generals and autists who don't know anything about it's history and general geopolitics call it pathetic.

Is that Luigi "More Bodies for the Isonzo, Bonzo" Cadorna?

No, it's Luigi "Rule primo, call me Generalssimo" Cadorna

Because it's a good ideology

Looks like they're the best at warfare. You gave the arguments too. Diplomacy is a bitch

It had ups anf downs
Vlad only lost because he got backstabbed

Japan.

Wait, so Romania only declared war a day before the end of WWI and the allies still gave them all that land? I guess thats just the luck of the gypsies.

Are you blind, illiterate, or just retarded?
>for the next year russians need to babysit you 24/7 so your pathetic army won't collapse

>threw back AH twice
>fought combined German-AH army until Bulgaria back stabbed them
>fighting retreat through the country
>never fully surrendered
no

>due to succesful alliances
That's it. Romania's fucking weak

>There is no merit to diplomacy
>lol 1v1 me fgt
t. Armchair General

>Was there a nation more pathetic than Romania during World War 1?

Is there a nation more pathetic than Romania?*
Fixed it for you, user.

>ride the coattails of stronger allies to victory over already heavily distracted enemies
>(but make sure to wait until it looks like the allies in question are going to win for sure)
>declare yourself a diplomatic genius

The guy you're arguing with is a Magyar.

perhaps. but the traditional historiography has it that fascist movements were most powerful in countries whose ambitions were frustrated by wwi, namely germany, austria and italy where they gained power. romania got everything it wanted so what was the excuse for a movement claiming to restore national glory and honor as fascism does?

they get clay and bulgaria became a rumpstate

why? because while Bulgaria went full retard with there diplomacy and Romania acutely made a few smart decisions

nation of thiefs and copper enthusiasts

>was there a nation more pathetic than Romania in WW1
Romania in WW2

>Monarch willingly gives up country to communism before the Soviets even reach the border
>Romanian armies are forced to capitulate to the Axis troops they shared trenches with, as two Soviet fronts bear down on them
>Romanian crown is abolished anyways, and the nation is subject to decades of commie rape

>lol why did you not let the soviets invade your country and fuck your shit up even more
>lol why did you not hold the eastern front alone, the axis were surely to win
>lol why did the monarch capitulate instead of fighing a losing war against the soviets and allies
>lol what do you mean Stalin wanted soviet influence and comunism all over Eastern Europe
Too bad they didn't have a military genius such as you, it would have been just like your paradox games.

Serbia

...

If you think about it there were many opportunistic countries in WW1 like Japan, Greece and Italy due to the ensuing clusterfuck, but really nobody got as much clay as Romania. Italy fought pretty admirably and only got Trieste and Albania and some vague promises for Turkish clay, but that was it. Romania got nearly 50% of then Hungary.

They didn't do much, all they did was help defeat the Germans in Asia. Not fair to claim they were pathetic in WW1.

Not true, they put up a good fight for a country their size.
