Treaty of Paris (1920)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1920 Treaty of Paris was a recognition of the union of Romania and Bessarabia by the European powers of the time.
On April 9, 1918 (old style March 27, 1918), during the chaos of the Russian Civil War, the Bessarabian legislature (Sfatul Ţării) voted in favor of unification with Romania with 86 votes in favor, 3 against and 36 abstentions, an act regarded as a Romanian invasion by the Russians[1].
The United States refused to sign the Treaty on the grounds that Russia was not represented at the Conference.[2]
