December 1st
The first day in December is our National Day, in remembrance of the Great Union that took place at Alba Iulia in 1918, after the end of the First world war.
Alba Iulia is the soul capital of the Romanian people; here, Mihai Viteazul fulfilled for the first time the biggest desire of our ancestors: he united the three Principalities in 16oo, but only for a short time.
The year 1918 is a moment of maximum importance in the Romanian history through the achievement of the greatest dream of the Romanians: TO UNITE, a process achieved in 3 steps:
1-The Basarabian step
The unification of the territory between Prut, Nistru and the Black Sea with The Romanian Kingdom and it was realized in 27th March 1918.
2-The Bucovinean step
On 28th of November,at Cernauti,The General Congress of Bucovina, had a session which approved the decision to unite willingly with Romania.
3-The Transilvanian step
On the 1st December 1918 1228 people from 80 cities and 5000 villages met at Alba Iulia and voted the Declaration of Unification. Then the delegates went to Campul lui Horea where 1000 Romanians were waiting to announce the great act that was achieved on that day.
The country that was born on December 1st 1918, holding all the historical territories, is known by the name of Romania Mare (The Great Romania). You can see how it looked in the picture and also some of the historical figures who contributed to it.
There are ceremonies and military parades to celebrate this day all over the country, but the biggest ones take place in Bucharest and Alba Iulia.
