Abstract: Since its formation, in the 8th-9th centuries, following a broad process of ethnogenesis, the Romanian people have contributed, substantially, through the great voivodes, but also through the simple peasants, considered, in a word, the „sole” of the country., to block all attempts of the Ottoman Empire to conquer Central Europe and to preserve human civilization in this part of the continent.
The connections between the Romanian provinces, existing from the early Middle Ages, will intensify in the 18th-19th centuries.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Bolshevik revolution in the Tsarist Empire (November 1917) and the collapse of Austria-Hungary (November 1918), at the end of the First World War, determined the fulfillment of the age-old dream of the Romanian people, to live, freely and independently, in the one country. Greater Romania, formed on December 1, 1918 and established, in its new borders, by the peace treaties of 1919-1920, will unfortunately last only two decades, but this dream will remain forever imprinted in the consciousness of all. Romanians.
