The French geographer Emmanuel de Martonne was invited as an expert to take part in a study committee in preparation for the 1919 Peace Conference. This paper first analyses the criteria and geographical tools used in his survey of Romanian regions, notably the French concept of region and ethnic maps. It then qualifies the way the survey was taken into account at the Peace Conference and the geographer's role in drawing boundary lines. Lastly, it studies the impact of de Martonne's contribution, made under circumstances of war, to the development of geography as a science.
