During the Second World War, Romania tried again to remain neutral, but on June 28, 1940, it received a Soviet ultimatum with an implied threat of invasion in the event of non-compliance. Under pressure from Moscow and Berlin, the Romanian administration and the army were forced to retreat from Bessarabia as well from Northern Bukovina to avoid war (giving these territories to Russia). This, in combination with other factors, prompted the government to join the Axis

Romania joined Germany in World War 2 to recover her lost territories.
