Most wars:
Person 1: I will take your land
Person 2: Why? You live in another land, why do you want my land?
Person 1: Because we have devoted a lot of our resources to warfare when you were living peacefully and now we have the means to overtake you. I also want your resources. Basically I want your people to work for my people so that my people don't have to work
Person 1: but we came in your country to work for your people as freemen and then you said we are stealing your jobs
Person 2: Enough talk! I will take your land

Noi romani avem un mare talent! In istoria acestei natiuni am avut putini conducatori care au vrut binele acestei tari si popor si noi ca popor ce am facut am tradat si omorat aceste persoane! Acesta este rasa romaneasca care fac parte si eu din aceasta rasa de tradatori. Romania mare nu va mai fi niciodata si este mare pacat?

I feel bad for King Michael. What a tough spot he was put in. I believe he knew the Marshal was right, and of course he ended up being right, about the spread of communism in Romania shortly thereafter. But, you have to exit a war, what can you do? It's sad.

My grate granddad was taken to Siberia as a pow. After the war he walked home without food or any money. He was begging left and right for 6 months until he finally arrived in Romania.

A million heavily armed Red Army troops within or near your borders, that you and your allies have no means to repel tend to be rather persuasive.
