n
n
n
n
nOn this date in 1866, Romania officially became Romania!
n
n
n
nThe “unification” was two principalities, Moldavia and Wallachia, joining together to form Romania.
n
n
n
nEven though the event Unification Day celebrates happened more than a century ago, the holiday is pretty new, having started in 2015.
n
n
n
nRomania’s “National Day” is called Great Union Day – it’s December 1 each year – and it is when Romania got a bit larger as Transylvania, Bessarabia, and Bukovina united with Moldavia and Wallachia under the Romanian banner.
