AHC: Have Romania gain these Interwar Borders

POD must be after 1914.

I’ll give it a shot. Probably not very plausible, but I can’t think of anything better..

Hungary remains red for a longer period then IOTL, thus Romania gets away with significant annexations in the west. About May/June 1919 the French manage to persuade Poland and West Ukraine to sign a peace. (Poland gets Lvov, Romania gets to keep parts of Galicia which it occupied, and a West Ukrainian remnant somehow survives. Perhaps it later fuses with an emerging Ukrainian state centered upon Kiev). Romania later gets involved in the Polish-Soviet war (if the Poles/Ukrainians do better due to butterflies, perhaps Romania may be tempted to join in and grab some bits of land east of the Dniester at little cost).

Now, grabbing Serbian land is the most tricky part, it being part of the Entente and all. The only way I can see Romania getting any of it is for a situation similar to the one in EdT’s A Greater Britain. Yugoslavia ends up at war with everybody else on Germany’s side, thus ‘justifying’ Romanian intervention should Romania get a government actually willing to do this.

Alternately, as rldragon says, I suppose some fiddling around with Axis politics could give Romania such borders, at least for a short while.
