The Great Union of 1918
The end of World War I, one of the bloodiest events in the world’s history, was soon followed by one of the most important historical events in Romania’s history – the Great Union of 1918, which brought hope to all Romanians. The Great Union represented the unification of all provinces where the Romanians were in the majority, namely Transylvania, Banat, Crisana, Maramures, Bessarabia, and Bukovina, with the Kingdom of Romania, to form one national state. On December 1, 1918, the National Assembly in Alba Iulia was held, where the 1,228 elected delegates unanimously adopted the union resolution. The unification declaration was read during a public event attended by over 100,000 Romanians.
