27 August-18 September 1916: Romania, encouraged by Russian gains & Austro-Hungarian losses in the Brusilov Offensive, joined the Entente Powers through the secret Treaty of Bucharest (17 August); Romanian forces marched into Transylvania; a Bulgarian, German, & Ottoman column counterattacked from the south & captured the Romanian fortress at Turtucaia (2-6 September).
Lest we forget.
