Carving out Transsilvania from Hungary was the similar crime. Punishing a colony for the crime commited their oppressor. Keeping Austria almost intact and tearing apart Hungary, their opressed colony. When Hungary tried to be independent from their opressor earlier in 1848 the same countries helped Austria who later created the Trianon pact. Probably the 1st and 2nd WW would not happen if Hungary won in 1848. Before that Hungary was the last defending line against many attackers from Asis who wanted to overrun Europe.

Getting Dobrudja in exchange of Bessarabia is the same :-)

​​@@LILEE376he difference is that in Transylvania Hungarians never had a majority before/during/ or after their occupation. You can check that in loads of Hungarian History books even in GestaHungarorum.

@@LILEE376 hungary never existed in europe, transilvania was an automous state that chosed to join the Austro Hungary empire just by fear to be attacker by the others ones, but after the empire collapsed they choosed by their own to unify with the 2 others states to form todays Romania. Transylvania was always populated by Vlachs; Dacians, Romanians people was before hungary was created

@@LILEE376The German Science Society had some ethnic map prepared periodically since 1800. Vienna also had ethnic maps during the same period of time, with the same situation clearly presented. You can find them with ease on internet. All of these maps were showing that Székely (or Hungarians) were living in some limited areas, near mountains, where they had also the majority. Exactly where they are living nowadays. Two counties out of 12. The rest of Transylvania was populated by Romanians in an absolute majority. And the overall percentage was - during the time - at least 80% Romanians and 15% Hungarians. Nowadays Hungarians are more or less about 15% of the total population of Transylvania. Same way, Austro-Hungarian empire occupied Slovakia, but Hungarians were always maximum 15% of the overall population. This is how empires work. In 1918 you lost your empire.....and this was good for all. If - by absurd - you occupy Transylvania again, Hungarians will became a minority. Pay attention to what you want. Moreover, do not overestimate 1948. Hungary had a limited role in 1948 as well as in 1919. And the other statement "last defending line against many attackers from Asia who wanted to overrun Europe" is wrong again. All European nations fought against ottomans or other tribes including your ancestor's tribes. All coming from Asia, of course.

@@Outcast100 That’s not entirely true. Territorial disputes aren’t a hindrance in joining the EU, so that’s a possibility for Moldova (which already is a candidate country). A territorial dispute in Moldova wouldn’t stop it from becoming NATO territory if Moldova reunited with the NATO country Romania since the latter already is in NATO. However, an independent Moldova won’t be able to join NATO for as long as there is a territorial dispute. A reunified Romania would currently mean Russian troops in NATO. So if Russia wants to avoid war with NATO, it would have to withdraw its troops from Transnistria.

USSR killed and deported Moldovans from Moldovan SSR which affirmed Romanian identity. Simultaneously, they broadcasted on a daily basis a lot of lies, such as: ”Romanians were mean occupants, we came to free you up! Romanians are bad, but lucky you Moldovans - you are a different people!” In USSR normally other socialist countries literature (Bulgaria, Poland, East Germany, etc) could be bought. However, even socialist Romanian books / press were forbidden in Moldovan SSR, in spite (or rather due to) the greatest demand. USSR tried to severe all ties of East-Moldovans with Romania. That is why the USSR propaganda partially succeeded. Today 80% of population in R. Moldova are ethnic Romanians (”Moldovans”) but only 50% of them (40% of total population) supports re-unification with Romania. The good thing is the Soviet lying propaganda gradually washes out, the support for reunification slowly increases.

Travelling in Rep.Moldova since 1994, I had been this time quite surprised, when a lot more people I got to know, sublined, that Republica Moldova should remain ne-utral. And this just in the month of the “Chisinău-Meeting” for joining the EU in may. They started to deliver their excellent wines and tasteful vegetables to Central Asia, India and China. In European Community we are already fed up by these😢

If you look at the two most corrupt European countries you will find that they are Moldova and Ukraine. There is a reason that NATO rushed Sweden and Finland into NATO as they bring economic and military pluses. You can say the same can be said for EU

Go please to Moldova and look carefully, how people are speaking. In 1994 I had to admit in the COLEGIUL AGRICOL at Taul, Moldova, that there is a lot of russian (or sovjetic?) infiltrations to be found in the “roumanian language”, which made that language in some parts not comprehensible at all. As a German, who studied since 1979 peasants life in different regions of Romania, I got used as well to “moroseneste”, i.e. the old dialect of Maramureș.

Before you mention north Dobroja, aka Carvuna in medieval times, don't forget to mention the ancestors of Romanians, the Geto Dacians of upper and lower Moesia, up to Haemi Mountains, the guys who gave the name of the Valkan peninsula, and then the Romans, the guys attested to live there cummulated for more than 1800 years before the Turanic Onogundur turk gang showed up about 680 and made an empire out of majority former Romans, already proto - Romanians by that time, on their own land, then using the language of Sclaveni of Ohrida in administration and church to distance themselves from the Greeks and Catholics in Rome, while still calling themseves real Romans. Cheers former Romanian brothers from south Danube.

In fact Russia followed the long term politics - the basis were established during the rule of Peter the Great. Russia wanted to arrive at the Danube's mouth, to control the Danube and in this way the Central Europe. During the last 200 years Russia had this obsession - to control the Danube. And the Black Sea. That's why they grab some land from Romania, and the land is the eastern half of Moldavia. Moreover, this time Russia broken Moldavia to pieces, transferring the southern part (Bugeac) and the northern part (half of historical Romanian province Bucovina including Cernauti city) to Ukraine, they transferred Transnistria to Moldavia, mixing the population an loosing the entity of the land. If you look at the map is easy to see that they cut completely the access of Moldova to the Danube river, in this way transforming Moldavia in a land locked "country". This is Russia. The biggest issue for Russia (regarding Danube) is that the whole Europe had a treaty which oblige everybody to use Sulina channel for transportation (the middle arm of the river). In order to keep Russia away from controlling the access, Romania spent a fortune to build the Danube - Black Sea channel, which connect the port of Constanta with the Danube river. This was Russia.....and still threat everyone, so this evil empire should disappear. Look at Georgia in 2008, Armenia and Azerbaidjan, Kazakhstan last year, Chechenia, Poland and Finland in WWII, Czechoslovakia in 1968 and Hungary in 1956, Moldavia starting from 1812, again in 1878, then after the WW I Moldavia reunited with Romania and we had a few conflict with the bolschevik troops, but Russia returned in June 1940 attacking and occupying the eastern part of Moldavia. Nothing to say about the disaster named communism and exported in the whole Eastern Europe.

Well, they didn't have to think much at all... they simply followed the Ribbentroappa-Molotoava pact of 1939 and acted as such! That was it basically... What are your reasons to suspect that "any kind of thinking" was whatsoever involved...??! 🙄 Both modern Ruznitski-land and Germany, have officially condemned the pact... but do their chauvinistic ways, allow them to really care in fact??!

Filat uses Maia Sandu as a marionette because she seams innocent and people trust her. Maia Sandu continues the same identical politics and ideology of Vlad Filat, integration into the EU separated from Romania and with the russian military base Transnistria, which of course will never happen, and that’s exactly what Vlad Filat wants so he ca remain the master of the Republic of Moldova.

There are some accents in Transylvania and Moldavia, but are completely irrelevant, affecting only the pronunciation. But the words are identically written.

Romanian reunification would happen through a referendum, not though an invasion, so no need to bring the Russia situation here. Also, while the vast majority of most Moldovans know Russian, Romanian is the language spoken on a daily basis by about 75% of the population.

@@giulestinha didn’t they have a referendum some years back in Moldova that ought to have paved the way for reunification already? I’m just saying shared language is a two edged sword, commonly used to ‘justify’ Russian imperial occupation.

@@claesvanoldenphatt9972 They had a referendum in 1994 (so shortly after gaining independence and after the war in Transnistria), but it was just a general question, with no reference to reunification with romania. Question was: Are you for the Republic of Moldova to develop as an independent and indivisible state within the borders recognized by the UN, to promote a policy of neutrality, to maintain mutually beneficial economic relations with any country and to guarantee all its citizens equal rights according to the norms of international law?

@@giulestinha thanks! I had thought there was something much more recent where Moldovans showed a preference for reunification but the Muscovite govt ignored them. I see the Gagauz (what, 20,000 souls?) ‘feel threatened’ by the Romanianness of the region and have a Muscovite party named after its leader Sors who fled justice to Moscow.

This is disinformation. Most moldovans speak english too, even better than russian. We also speak french, german, italian. Wdym, speaking russian is a crime? My native language is romanian, I can even mix it with some russian words to piss out my “pure” romanian colleagues at my job, but does it make me a “different” romanian in any way? Have you read too much goebbels propaganda on racial purity?

How many bulgarian speakers are in Dobrogea ? Just visit and see.

@@mihaiilie8808 There are bulgarians in bessarabia quite a lot and we still dont claim it. İn North Dobrudja there are some but other got exchanged still it is not hard to exchange again. Still accordğng to Hşstory the only reason Wallachia got that territory is cus they lose Bessarabia and now if we are fair they should return what tussşa took from us and gave to them. We shall work together against Russia the. Also lets not forget how many wallachians are actually bulgarşans that movrd there durning Bulgarşa eas under ottoma empire pr they stayed since the Bulgarian Empires thst covered whole Romanşa and part of Hungary and almost whole balkans. Yet we claim only North Dobrudja, North Macedonia, aegan thrace , Edirne and Shopluk area in Serbia. While we wa nt maşnly only North Macedonia and Shopluk rn cus they are still culturally and traditionally bulgarian while the otners are not fully but they have remains.

@@BringBackCyrillicBG one of my grand grand mothers was bulgarian but from an area in Bulgaria where there are quite a lot romanian speakers. Thrace included whole Romania and maybe parts of Hungary too. Bulgaria is the oldest country in Europe ,Sofia is the oldest city in Europe,a nice country. But the population now ,if they dont even know the language,you cant claim them. Greece or Italy could claim Dobrogea too and also the turks,tatars. About Macedonia,i agree thats Bulgarian .Lots of romanian speakers there too.

Nope!

@@BringBackCyrillicBG You can't reclaim anything anymore... both Romania and Bulgaria are E.U. and N.A.T.O. members! There are no such "swaps" possible between any of us! What would you do with "Northern Dobruja" anyways?? 🤔 Bulgaria has lots of coastline and can't protect it on it's own! I know, you thought maybe of the Black Sea oil & gas reserves inside Romanian's maritime exclusive economic zone... but no sorry, it's ours and c'est la vie...

Of course not, pretty much much the same language with different alphabets and some different words, but neither the serbs nor the croatians can pretend that they "own" it. Decades ago, the name used to be "serbo-croatian". (quote from Radio Free Europe and Voice of America before the fall of the iron curtain > "The following broadcast is in serbo-croatian")

Oh snap, your right

Great observation and completely true! Where are you from?

@@danthebiker07 Poland.

!!?? "The definitely different architecture, landscape and clothes.."Mr. specialist in Romanian traditions, if I'll demonstrate you Romanian-Moldovan costumes mixed with Romanian-Transilvanian costumes, I bet 1 million euros you won't be able to tell which is coming from where. Probably the same for church building and/or traditional houses. If you look into small details, then "Moldova is a region significantly different from the rest of" Moldova (yes, itself!) in many respects. In my understanding you mean us no harm, you wish us Moldovans-Romanians the best things - thank you; but please do not exaggerate whatever small differences you may see, or I'll prove you any two twins from Krakow are belonging to totally different nations : )

@@ionbrad6753 Sometimes for someone from outside such diferences are more obvious.

@@Pawel_Mrozek True. Lolek is short, Bolek is tall and slim; obviously they are from different nations! (only being ironic, of course).

With or without transnistria?Maybe thats the difference

@@rodrigocoelho643 with 2.9 without 2.5

True that. And Romania has some 18.5 millions, because of bad demographics and emmigration out of our country. There are around 100.000 ukrainians established since 2021 inside Romania and a bit more in Moldova republic. They are ukrainian citizens from Odessa, Kiev, Mariupol, Kharkiv, Nikolayev.

@@dumitrupogolsa7769 Romania's population is gowing down mainly because the fertility rate is too low, at 1.6 to 1.8 per women when it should be 2.1 to maintain the population. Less and less romanians leave the country because the standard of living in Romania is already as high as in Portuagal and just slightly lower than Spain and Italy. In 2-3 years Romania will be richer per capita than Spain and in around 5 years richer than Italy.

@@BurningFlame1999 Better compare Romania to Poland than Portugal or Spain. Romanian still go there, at the "Sea of Plastic" near Almeria, to work in inhuman conditions, just like moroccans, under the hot spanish sun. The romanians who live better than spaniards are called deputies and senators. As a Romanian living in Piatra Neamt, I have an appartment and a terrain here, but to build my own house and have my appartment just for rent I would be forced to work abroad again, so at one moment of my life I even thought about leaving completely Romania. My friends did it, they are now Irish, Italian, etc., because Romania is such a hole full of gipsies and stuff. Romania is not the top 1 turistic destination for any country in the world, despite having a fairy tale landscape. All of these problems come from red tape, corruption and just romanian stupidity, after all. I am also romanian, but I am not a proud one like you, fuck that unnecessary pride, life is too short to back this nationalism shit.

Yep, my bad

No, not really. They are considered peacekeepers, any attack on them is basically an invasion of a sovereign country, Moldova. Now, of course, if Moldova would give an ultimatum and ask them to leave and they refused and then Moldova would ask for the help of Ukraine, then they could intervene... legally. But Moldova will not do this, they seek a peaceful resolution

@@Bayard1503 They will refuse to leave as long as Russia has Putin in the Kremlin. We’ll see

I, as a Ukrainian, support the reunification of Moldova and Romania. In Ukraine, we would not even mind if Ukraine itself liquidated Transnistria and helped Moldova regain control of the land. After all, this is also in our interests. I wish you all the best!

@@mxpreussland Thanks man! Transnistria needs to be "absorbed" into Moldova first, but I would agree for Ukraine to even take it, or parts of it, for exchanging access to the sea. R I guess it would never happen tho, the only way Moldova can have sea access is to reunite Romania. As the author stated, if we will be in the EU we could go to the sea unrestricted, even in Ukraine. All you need is a fast railway and just more interconnectivity. Now also Transnistria hinders the transportation of goods and people. The rural population in Transnistria is 65% moldavian and 30% ukrainian, russians being only predominant in 3 bigger cities Bender, Tiraspol, Rybnitsya. We need a "special military operation", lol, aiming to capture the old weapon deposits at Kolbasna, Ukraine should work together with Moldova to capture those old weapons.

@@dumitrupogolsa7769 There was news a month ago that Ukraine and Moldova were building a bridge to bypass Transnistria.

@@mxpreussland yeah... that is definitely not enough imo

@@mxpreussland as a romanian ,thank you

:) Nice ideea but such restitution is not obstructed by the lack of unity between Romania and R. Moldova. It would make a nice and honest gesture but I doubt Ukraine shall ever return R. Moldova and/or Romania the lands robbed by USSR in 1940 and transferred to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Not even the almost 100% Romanian region of Herța. And of course, Romania, respecting the International Law, shall not raise territorial demands against Ukraine. Though the International Law accepts peaceful negotiations (Helsinki final act)...

Moldova and Bassarabia are one and the same

@@EagleEye517 We are the same people but those terms define different pieces of land.

Now it is the territory of Ukraine and no one has any claims to it. Moreover, the vast majority of the population there are Ukrainians. Earlier, before World War I, there was also a majority of Ukrainians there.

its just on wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romania#/media/File:Romania_1930_ethnic_map_EN.png

@@GeoPerspective Thanks!

Then why remain in the Schengen zone, if you don't enact the Schengen free passage? That's the whole point of Schengen 😂 Those countries might get excluded eventually...

@@dyawr Precisely because Schengen can be temporary, a re-unification is better.

True mate. But as foreign powers are supportive, the people start to unfreeze again.)

please name them, bring constructive arguments not just judgment...

​@@MrDoggysmut ok.. Here are some mistakes I found: - there are some pronunciation mistakes, like the way he pronounced Găgăuzia, or Ceaușescu, but I don't care much about those kinds of mistakes. He is not Romanian, so I don't have the expectation that he should pronounce Romanian names perfectly. - at 0:10 he says that the idea of a 'greater Romania' began amidst the chaos of the first world war, but the idea started long before that. People were talking about that long before Romania was even a country. The first world war was just the first time is truly seemed doable. - the map of Greater Romania that they keep showing is wrong. Northern Bucovina is like two times bigger on the map than it was in real life and also, Transnistria was not a part of Greater Romania. - at 1:19 he says 'all speakers of Romanian and its dialects'. If we are to consider Moldovan a dialect of Romanian, then England also has tens of English dialects. And there are some important things that were left out of the video. Those things are often ignored by the Russian backed politicians: - he doesn't talk about the fact that Romania formed when Moldavia and Wallachia, two Romanian countries united. And that the main figures who helped this happen, as well as the first rulers of Romania, were Moldavians. - he doesn't talk about the Russian annexation of Bessarabia from Moldova and the russification policy of the Russian Empire or the cultural genocide Russia did in Bessarabia. - he doesn't talk about how Bessarabia joined Romania. He just says that Romania grabbed it during the Russian civil war. But actually Moldova declared independence from Russia and Romania respected its decision, treating Moldova as an equal. Later Moldovans voted to 'forever' unite with Romania and representatives of all the ethnic minorities from Bessarabia were invited to vote, there were even Transnistrian representatives. - he says that we don't know if the Moldovan identity was created by the Soviets, all while omitting the artificial words added to the language, or the fact that saying that you are Romanian could mean a one way ticket to the gulag. And during the Soviet period many personalities from the part of Moldavia that was still in Romanian were promoted in Moldova as part of the 'moldovan' culture because they didn't have their own heroes on which to build the Moldovan culture. That how people like Stephen the great, who said that Moldovans are Romanians, or writers like Mihai Eminescu, who said multiple times that the was a Romanian and who talked about how he wants Bessarabia to join Romania, became Moldovan heroes and the thing they said about Romanians were not mentioned. - he doesn't talk about the 90's. After Moldova gained independence, the people that came to power wanted to unite with Romania, while the people that had the power in Romania were pro-russian ex-communists. Moldovan artists who openly talk about the union and said that they are Romanian died in car 'accidents'. - he doesn't talk about the pro-russian politicians and parties, which are founded and controlled by Russia. They are the ones that promote the identity created by the Soviets and say that they don't speak Romanian, but Moldovan. They are the ones who changed the national anthem of Moldova (it used to be the same anthem that Romania has) and wanted to change the flag too. They controll most of the media and give poor people money to protes against the pro-EU rulers. They are the main reason Moldova did not unite with Romania.

​@@MrDoggysmutoh, and he should have talked about the constant misinformation in Transnistria and their disregard of basic human rights
