Titulescu, Nicolae

Titulescu, Nicolae

▪ Romanian statesman
born Oct. 4, 1883, Craiova, Romania
died March 17, 1941, Cannes, Fr.

      Romanian statesman who, as foreign minister (1927; 1932–36) for his country, was one of the leading advocates of European collective security.

      A professor of civil law, Titulescu entered politics in 1912 and was appointed minister of finance in 1917. After World War I, he attended the peace negotiations at Paris and signed the Treaty of Trianon (Trianon, Treaty of) (1920). He was again appointed finance minister in 1920, and his unpopular fiscal reforms helped topple the government in December 1921. From 1922 to 1926 and again from 1928 to 1932, he served as Romanian minister plenipotentiary in London. As foreign minister he championed Romania's accession to the French-sponsored Little Entente of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, engineered its attachment to the Balkan Entente (1934), consisting of Greece, Yugoslavia, and Turkey, and pursued a policy of friendship with France and the U.S.S.R. His difficulties with the king, Carol II, and the impending breakdown of collective security, however, led eventually to his dismissal (August 1936). He was also Romanian delegate to the League of Nations and the author of several works on law and finance.
