NATIONAL
\nDAY – December 1 marks the National Day of Romania, celebrating 105
\nyears since the unification of Romanian principalities into a single state. On
\nDecember 1, at the end of the Great War, representatives of Romanians from
\nTransylvania (center), Banat, Maramure\u0219 and
\nCri\u0219ana (west), voted in favor of the unification with the Kingdom of
\nRomania, thus breaking with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Previously, on
\nNovember 28, a similar decision was taken by the General Congress of Bukovina,
\nanother province that was previously ruled by the Habsburgs. On March 27, 1918,
\nafter the collapse of the Russian Empire, the People’s Gathering of Bessarabia
\nalso voted the unification with Romania. In the summer of 1940, following an
\nultimatum, the USSR annexed both Bessarabia and northern Bukovina, today parts
\nof the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, respectively. <\/p>\n
