La '''Battaglia di Mărăşeşti''' ([[6 agosto]] - [[8 settembre]] [[1917]]) è stata la battaglia più importante combattuta durante la [[prima guerra mondiale]] tra l'[[impero tedesco]] e il [[regno di Romania]].
==Premesse==
The Romanians participated in a joint [[Russian Empire|Russian]]-Romanian offensive on July 22 against the [[Austria-Hungary|Austro-Hungarian]] 1st Army in the [[Mărăşti, Vrancea|Mărăşti]] area and on the lower part of the [[Siret River|Siret]] river (the [[Battle of Mărăşti]]). After some initial success (a 30 km-wide and 20 km-deep salient in the front of the [[Austria-Hungary|Austro-Hungarian]] 1st Army), the attack had to be stopped due to the successful [[Central Powers]] counter-offensive in [[Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria|Galicia]] (see the [[Kerensky Offensive]]).
==German counter-attack==
Before launching the attack, the battle was thought to be taken at [[Nămoloasa]], both sides were counting at that moment about 1 million soldiers. Field Marshal [[August von Mackensen]] launched a counter-attack on August 6. Mackensen, displaying his usual skill, forced the [[Imperial Russia|Russia]]ns to retreat. It must be admitted that the Russian army was nearly useless by this point in the war. For the next month, the Germans, together with some Austrian units, fought a see-saw battle with the Romanian army. The fighting lasted until September 8, when both sides ran out of fresh units. The German attempt to crush the last Romanian army had failed, but the Romanians had not expanded their territory either.<ref>Cyril Falls, ''The Great War'', p. 285</ref> The motto of the Romanian Army during the battle was "Pe aici nu se trece" ({{lang-en|"[[They shall not pass|You shall not pass]]"}}), probably inspired from the famous slogan of General [[Robert Nivelle|Nivelle]] during the [[Battle of Verdun]].
Romania lost over 27,000 men, including 610 officers, while Germany and Austria-Hungary lost over 47,000. Notably, the Romanian heroine [[Ecaterina Teodoroiu]] was killed at the end of this battle, on September 6, by machine-gun fire; two days later, [[Major General]] [[Kurt von Wenniger]] was killed by artillery fire near the village of [[Străoane|Muncelu]].
==Aftermath==
This was the last major battle on the Romanian front before much of Romania was occupied by the forces of the Central Powers. In May 1918, after the German advance in [[Ukraine]] and Russia signing the [[Treaty of Brest-Litovsk]], Romania, surrounded by the [[Central Powers]] forces, had no other choice but to sue for peace (see [[Treaty of Bucharest, 1918]]).
