Today’s Doodle celebrates Romania’s Great Union Day, or Ziua Marii Uniri, which commemorates the day in 1918 when the Resolution of the National Assembly was signed, forming modern Romania.
In 1859, the southern and eastern regions of Wallachia and Moldavia
banded together as the Kingdom of Romania, declaring independence from
the Ottoman Empire in 1877. The Resolution of the National Assembly
joined Transylvania, Banat, Crişana, and Maramureş, with the Kingdom of
Romania, further expanding the size of the nation.
Ratified in the historic city of Alba Iulia, in the presence of over
100,000 people, the 1918 accord passed without objection. Containing
clauses that protected religious freedom, codified universal suffrage,
and freedom of the press, it stood as a testament to the path Romania
hoped to pursue.
La mulți ani, România!
