The Union of all the Romanians – from Political Concept to National Ideal

The six chapters of the work represent, each, an independent historiographic issue. The Union was motivated by the Romanian diplomats as having a historical basis that was revealed starting from five main elements. Moreover, it has been tried to be brought forward the manner in which the Romanian borders evolved, in different historical stages. We tried to offer an answer in each of the six chapters of the book. There were brought forward historiographic arguments, along with the documentary ones. We started from the Carpathian-Danube-Pontic space from Antiquity and moved towards the present day period. The struggle of the Romanians for the Union, concomitantly with the fight for Independence, took place in the same moments with that of the most peoples from Europe and the world. Some states were Great Powers, disappeared, reorganised, others transformed from small states into Great Powers. Only by insisting on the correct interpretation of the historical sources, we shall be able to find the answer we are looking for.
