  Abstract:  The Romanian Soldiers’ Attitude Towards World War I. The present paper attempts at a comprehensive analysis of the attitude, feelings and thoughts of the Romanian soldiers in the Austro-Hungarian army, compelled to fight for a cause that was not their’s, emphasizing the elements which offered them moral support and consolation, helped them overcome despair and kept their national consciousness alive. The soldiers’ correspondence with their families and several memoirs were our main sources, which reveal a less known picture of World War I. The analysis of the feelings, the collective consciousness and thought enabled us to understand the attitude towards the war of the soldier all over the world, his quiet "resistance", his attempt to escape the everyday miseries of the war by turning his thoughts to his community and family.
