Abstract
The Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact has represented, until today, a reference topic in the analyses of those who study history and international relations. From the Romanian point of view, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact achieved the master stroke to the system of alliances built by Romania in the interwar period. In fact, the German-Soviet agreement eliminated the Franco-British presence in South-eastern Europe, the European equilibrium was destroyed and its reconstruction in favour of Romania was almost impossible in the new geopolitical and geostrategic situation.
