The introduction to the book Habsburgii, ungurii și românii ("The Habsburgs, the Hungarians and Romanians"), dated May 1, written by Vasile Stoica and Ion Rusu Abrudeanu.

At the end of August 1916, the Romanian government, impressed by the early success of the Brusilov Offensive, declared war on Germany and Austria-Hungary.

In March 1917, Stoica (by then a second lieutenant) was a member of a group of exiled Romanian Habsburg subjects who were sent as a delegation to the United States to campaign Romania's cause.

[1] The envoys also established close contacts with the Czech Tomáš Masaryk and the Polish Ignacy Jan Paderewski.

He was instrumental in the creation of the Romanian National League of America in July, some months after America joined the Entente forces; among other things, the League, centered in Youngstown, Ohio, helped direct the war effort and participation of the Romanian-American community towards the US forces on the Western Front.

Stephen P. Duggan wrote on December 10, 1920: Vasile Stoica married Ines (Nessy) Longhi de Sobione.

Ines Longhi died on February 16, 1956 while married to her second husband, Carol Ardeleanu (né Köhler), an ethnic German from Transylvania.
