Catherine Durandin, Russia, Rumania and the new borderlines in the Balkans: the case of the Dobrudja.
The Dobrudja's annexation to Rumania, resulting from a decision of the Great Powers at the Congress of Berlin gave rise to some paradoxical propositions. At the beginning, Rumanians refused to take over this land. Nevertheless, at the time, the acquisition of the Dobrudja is presented as legitimate: the annexation bears on a land placed within natural borderlines; the Wallachian presence on the Dobrudjian territory is centuries-old. The only obstacle is the crossing of the Danube that "had been placed by fate as a barrier between the Rumanian country and the Dobrudja". This problem is solved within a general program culminating in the inauguration — with a great array — of the harbour of Constantza by the king in October 1909. This is a choice of the Rumanization. Carol of Rumania wanted to transform his country into a kind of western state at the oriental borders. This colonization of the Dobrudja by Rumanians meant, with the accelerated departure of nomadic populations, the extinction of a former civilization. The annexation of the Dobrudja to the Old Kingdom in 1878 shows the Unitarian tendency of Rumanian nationalism based on the geopolitical argument of natural highways from the Carpathian region to the sea.
