Talk:Union Day (Romania)

The WWI poster
The WWI poster has no reason being there. It is about Romania's war entry, a good two years before. Also, the event marked is about Transylvania's union with Romania - it was the date of Transylvanians attending an Alba Iulia gathering, where they expressed their wishes to be part of Romania. (As such, the choice for the event was quite a misnomer, since the gathering itself did not provoke Transylvania's union per se, nor were its demands respected by the succeding Romanian governments - such as the request that the region be given full authonomy inside the Kingdom.) There is a nuanced connection with Bessarabia and Bukovina: Transylvania was the last of the three to join, and since this is thought to have happened following Dec. 1st, the date was extended to mean the "fulfilling of Romania's unity". Note: southern Dobruja IS NOT part of that arangement - it was an integral part of the kingdom since late 1913. I will get to reviewing the page at a later date. Dahn 23:58, 1 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I fully agree with Dahn. Is anyone against removing the poster from this article? (Btw, I inserted the image into the Ferdinand I of Romania article some time ago, I guess it belongs there more than here). Mentatus 14:41, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Cine cu cine s-a unit
Cine v-a invatat istorie fratilor, astia de ati scris ca Regatul Romaniei s-a unit cu Transilvania, Basarabia, Bucovina si Dobrogea? Pai Regatul se uneste cu provinciile sau provinciile se unesc cu Regatul? Si cand s-a unit Dobrogea cu Romania (sau Romania cu Dobrogea, dupa cum ati scris)? Dobrogea de Sud a fost ocupata de Romania in al doilea razboi balcanic (1913) si deci n-a fost nici o unire a Dobrogei in 1918. The Vindictive 15:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
