- ↑ Alexandru Marghiloman (1854-1925), member of the Romanian Conservative party, was a germanophile. At the start of the conflict he supported neutrality. After Romania entered the war on the side of the Allies in May 1916, when its military defeats by Germany forced Romania to capitulate, King Ferdinand I appointed Marghiloman Prime Minister in March 1918 to negociate a separate peace with Germany, hoping that a German-friendly minister would obtain more favourable terms. It came to nothing, the peace treaty was not ratified by the Romanian delegates, and the Marghiloman government was overthrown in October 1918. [PK, FP, FL]
