Oil Wells leased for 90 years: can't find source?
editThis article (and the foreign-language articles based on it) mention that Romania's oil wells would be leased to Germany for 90 years. That part isn't the original text of the treaty, and I can't find any additional sources on it?
Also, would it be worthwile to mention that the treaty would have enforced religious equality onto Romania? With the anti-semitism going on there in the interwar, that might be relevant.

- What the treaty actually says that the oil wells would be leased to a German company, the Oelländerein Pachgesellschaf, which was a holding company consisting of a consortium made of the Deutsche Bank, the Darmstädter Bank, the Dresdener Bank, and the Discontogesellschaf. This was the company that owned the oil wells. For more details, see The Silent Dictatorship: The Politics of the German High Command under Hindenburg and Ludendorff, 1916-1918. I hope this helps.
