Synopsis
The Ottoman Empire fought on many different fronts in World War I. One of these fronts was the Romanian Front. Osman Nizami Pasha was appointed to the Military Governorate of Romania, which was established by the Ottoman Empire after the Allied forces gained control on this front. The activities carried out by the governor in Bucharest, the dialogue he established with the people of the region and his military actions are important for us to understand the operations on this front.
As we all know, World War I was sparked by the assassination of Franz Ferdi-nand, the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, by a Serbian nationa-list during his visit to Sarajevo. In response to this, the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia by bombing Belgrade on July 28, 1914, while Russia dec-lared general mobilization to aid Serbia. Germany declared war on Russia on Au-gust 1, 1914, and on France on August 3, 1914, after failing to achieve a resolution despite its demand for Russia to halt the general mobilization (Kaya, 2018: 2478).
