Politico-Territorial Projects concerning Bukovina and the Romanian-Polish Border in the Context of Diplomatic Negotiations during and after World War I (1914-1920)
The paper concisely presents the issue of the recognition of the November 15th/28th, 1918 union of Bukovina with the Romanian Kingdom by the Paris Peace Conference (1919-1920). The efforts of the Romanian Kingdom's delegation led by Ion I. C. Bratianu, the president of the Ministers' Council, and subsequently by Alexandru Vaida Voivod were oriented towards the full recognition of Bukovina within its historical borders (reaching Ceremuş, Dniester and Colacin) as it has been voted by Bukovina's General Congress that met at Chernivtsi on November 15th/28th, 1918. The achievement of Bukovina's union international recognition was also closely related to the Romanian-Polish efforts to establish a common border, a goal achieved with the support of the Allied and Associated Powers, taking into account: Romania and Poland's interests and historical rights, the geopolitical situation evolution in Eastern Europe, as well as the Great Powers' interests
