Aspects of Romanian Japanese Relations (1917–1944). The Southeastern European Connections of an Asian Great Power

Abstrakt

From the establishment of the Romanian legation in Tokyo in 1917 until the severance of diplomatic contacts in October 1944, relations between Romania and Japan went through several stages (1917–1922; 1922–1940; 1940–1944), dominated by feeble attempts to develop commercial ties and to assume a common political agenda. The most important issue on the bilateral agenda during the interwar period was the ratification by Japan of the Bessarabian Treaty, signed in October 1920. For pragmatic reasons, which were closely linked to economic and political interests between Japan and Soviet Russia, the Tokyo authorities did not ratify the treaty. This fact shows that the “Soviet factor” played an important role in Romanian Japanese relations, as they were neighbors of the USSR, whose security equation included the Soviet variable.
