Romanian National Day: A symbol of unity and history
Romania celebrates its National Day, known as the Great Union Day, on December 1st each year. This celebration commemorates a pivotal historical event in 1918, when the National Assembly of Representatives of Romania voted in Alba Iulia to unite the provinces of Transylvania, Banat, Creșana, and Maramureș with the Kingdom of Romania. This decision culminated a long struggle for national unity and the Romanian people's quest to unify their historical territories into a single state. The day is considered a symbol of national sovereignty and unity, which forms the foundation of the modern Romanian state.
