  Romania during World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hungary had lost all of Transylvania in the Treaty of Trianon after World War I, and had never surrendered the ambition of regaining the territory.
On September 7, under the Treaty of Craiova, the Kadrilater or "Quadrilateral" (the southern part of Dobrudja) was ceded to Bulgaria (from which it had been taken at the end of the Second Balkan War in 1913).
Given the relatively recent unification of all the territories Romanians have felt as historically belonging to them on one hand, and on the other hand the fact that so much land was lost without a fight, these territorial losses shattered the underpinnings of Carol's power.
