Iorga only returned to Bucharest as Romania resumed its contacts with the Allies and the "Deutsches Heer" left the country. The political uncertainty ended by late autumn, when the Allied victory on the Western Front sealed Germany's defeat. Celebrating the Compiègne Armistice, Iorga wrote: "There can be no greater day for the entire world". Iorga however found that Bucharest had become "a filthy hell under lead skies." His celebrated return also included the premiere of "Învierea lui Ștefan cel Mare" at the National Theater, which continued to host productions of his dramatic texts on a regular basis, until ca. 1936.
