National Unity Day of Romania

Huge energy, hopes and enthusiasm led to a qualitative breakthrough.The First World War was a terrible disaster for the European people. In the monstrous meat grinder, millions of people died and were maimed, tens of millions became refugees. The countries on which the front lines passed suffered enormous destruction. Among the countries at the epicenter of the disaster was Romania.

A small people courageously took the side of Russia and the Entente. After a year and a half of fierce fighting, the country was occupied. The Allied victory was achieved far from Romanian territory, but it was a great victory for peace and justice against the cynical “struggle for a place in the sun.”

Thanks to this victory, the Romanian people were able to realize the dream of their great thinkers - the acquisition of national unity! Huge creative energy, hopes and enthusiasm from all sectors of society led to a qualitative breakthrough. The history of the holiday dates back to December 1, 1918, when representatives of Romanians from Transylvania and Banat voted for unification with the Kingdom of Romania.
