(in use from December 23, 1919 until March 20, 1920).
These had round overprints "ROMANIA / PTT-FF / 1919 / ZONA DE OCUPATIE". There
are 22 stamps (plus another 12 stamps on two varieties of paper), 7 Charity and 5 Porto
stamps in existence. Very probably the Debrecen II stamps were not allowed to be franked.
Near all items with these stamps are either philatelic (CTO) or with the stamps being used
as additions (something like a label) (text courtesy Dan Grecu)
The Austrian
Emperor withdrew on 13 November 1918 and on 16 November a People's Republic was formed.
The People's Republic of November 1918 was replaced by a Bolshevik regime under Bela Kun
on 22 March 1919. Stamps for this government were issued on 14 June. At the same time a
national government was formed in opposition under Admiral Horthy at Szeged and
overprinted stamps for this party were issued on 28 June 1919. This area was under French
occupation. The French were also in occupation of the region of Arad and issued
overprinted stamps for this area in May 1919. It was awarded to Romania in 1920. On 1
August 1919 Bela Kun fled to Vienna in the face of Romanian troops who had invaded Hungary
in July. Under pressure from the Allies, the Romanians withdrew on 14 November, and a
national republic was formed under Admiral Horthy on 16 November 1919.
