At the beginning of 1918 the British War Cabinet endorsed the view
of the Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, that after the war
Austria-Hungary should be in a position to exercise a powerful
influence in south-east Europe. These reassuring professions were
the essence of hypocrisy, since the Allies had already given away,
at least on paper, large chunks of Austro-Hungarian territory as
bribes to potential allies. In 1916 Romania was promised the whole
of Transylvania, the Banat both components of historic Hungary and
the Bukovina in return for her entry into the war. These promises
persuaded the Romanian Prime Minister Ion Bratianu (1864-1927) to
intervene in the war on the side of the Allies in 1916. He lead the
Romanian delegation to the Paris Peace Conference, where he
insisted on those promises to be fulfilled. His often-strained
relations with the Big Four and the Supreme Council were further
eroded when Romania invaded Hungary. Romania, however, in the end
signed and adhered to the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye with
Austria, Neuilly-sur-Seine with Bulgaria, the Treaty of Paris
(1920), the Treaty of Trianon with Hungary, and the minorities
treaty.
