    Ce scria New York Times despre Romania. Atmosfera dinaintea Marii Uniri:"O tara mutilata"

    Dintr-un oras vesel, Bucurestiul a devenit un oras trist. Romania estemutilata, numai 2 provincii sunt unite, spre celelalte se indreapta jinduitorinimile tuturor. Iata cum descrie New York Times momentul intrariiRomaniei in primul razboi mondial.

    Site-ul Tkinter.net reproduce editia din 7 septembrie 1916 a New York Times,care descrie atmosfera din Romania inaintea participarii la primul razboi mondial.

    Publicatia americana compara Bucurestiul cu orasele mari ale lumii, precum NewOrleans sau Washington. Un orasel vesel si francofon, care de cateva saptamani s-atransformat intr-un oras sobru si trist.

    Motivul acestei transformarii este faptul ca romanii isi doresc unirea tuturorprovinciilor tarii. Exista 5.000.000 de romani care traiesc acum dincolo de graniteleRegatului si fiecare isi doreste unirea. Romania este azi o tara mutilata, un fragment al adevaratei Romanii, spre care tanjesc sufletele tuturor copiilor.

    Una din cele mai dorite provincii romanesti este Transilvania, care este aImperiului Austro-Ungar. Regiune extrem de fertile si plina de zacaminte de aur, a fostmartora confruntarilor cu hoardele de huni si tatari, insa pe vremea Imperiului Romanera parte a aceleiasi provincii de care apartinea actuala Valahie si Moldova.

    Drumurile construite de romani exista inca si sunt practicabile, facand legaturapeste muntii Carpati. Romanii care tariesc in Ungaria au avut parte de mai multe

    neplaceri decat fratii lor din Bucovina, zona aflata sub conducerea directa a Austriei.La un moment dat, sub conducerea lui Ladislau Kossuth , au fost obligati sa

    lupte pentru propria lor libertate si identitate nationala, pentru ca au fost reprezentati la Budapesta numai de deputati unguri si germani, niciun roman nefiind trimis acolo,desi romanii erau mai numerosi in Transilvania decat maghiarii sau germanii.Maghiarii sunt despotici si se poarta la fel ca Habsburgii. Romania vrea sa remediezeasta.

    O doua provincie ravnita de Romania este Bucovina. A fost mult timp parte aRomaniei, pana in 1777, cand Austria a primit acest teritoriu din partea sultanuluiTurciei.

    Este una din cele mai bogate zone din Moldova, din punct de vedere al resurselor, dar si al traditiilor. Aici, la Suceava, isi aveau tronul domnitorii, iar lamanastirea Putna erau ingropati.

    La cele doua provincii guvernate de Budapesta si Viena se adauga Basarabia,

    aflata sub controlul Rusiei. A fost cedata de Turcia Imperiului Tarist, dupa pierderearazboiului din 1812. Recastigata de in 1856, a fost pierduta din nou, dupa Unirearealizata de Alexandru Ioan Cuza , in timpul razboiului ruso-turrc din 1877.

    Desi Basarabia a fost realipita Rusiei, Romania a primit in schimb Dobrogea,unde se afla Delta Dunarii. Totusi, in Basarabia traiesc peste un million de romani sinu vor putea exista relatii diplomatice cordiale cu Rusia, pana cand aceasta provincienu revine alaturi de Romania.

    Pe langa aceste provincii, mai exista colonii de romani in Bulgaria, Serbia siMacedonia, care se numesc vlahi sau valahi si sunt in mare parte pastori. Cuprindereaacestora intr-o Romanie unita va fi extrem de dificila.

    Prin urmare, locuitorii din Bucuresti au toate motivele sa fie sobri in fata acestei grave probleme. Acum s-au alaturat Aliatilor si, daca acestia vor castiga razboiul,Romania va primi inapoi cele doua provincii aflate acum in Austro-Ungaria. Rusia sespune ca ar fi promis la randul ei ca va da inapoi Basarabia, i si incheie articolul NewYork Times.

    Romania s-a alaturat Aliatilor (Antantei) pe 17 august 1916, iar zece zile maitarziu armata romana a intrat in Transilvania.

    Antanta era alcatuita din Franta, Imperiul Rus, Imperiul Britanic, Italia siStatele Unite. Adversara Aliatilor era alianta numita Puterile Centrale, formata dinGermania, Austro-Ungaria, Imperiul Otoman si Bulgaria.

    Dupa ce Aliatii au castigat razboiul, principatele romane au fost unite subconducerea Regelui Ferdinand, incoronarea oficiala avand loc pe 1 decembrie 1918.In realitate insa, aceasta unire a fost realizata in mai multe etape: Basarabia s-a alipitRomaniei pe 9 aprilie 1918, Bucovina pe 28 noiembrie 1918, iar Transilvania pe 1decembrie 1918.

    KING FERDINAND OF RUMANIA REVIEWING SIEGE ARTILLERY AT A RECENT CELEBRATION IN BUCHAREST

    "BUCHAREST the gay has become Bucharest the grave," saysa recent cable message, and both epithets are admirablychosen. Bucharest, on a stream which joins the Danube, is astately city of 350,000 inhabitants, about equal to Washington,D.C., or to New Orleans. And it has elements of both; withWashington, its atmosphere of diplomacy, of legislative doings,each with its marked society; with New Orleans, its aristocratictradition, its French affinities, its habit of gayety and largehospitality. But it is with the gay France of the early ThirdEmpire, not with the earnest and exalted France of today, thatBucharest is joined in spirit; or was until the straitening eventsof the last few weeks turned it into Bucharest the grave. Forthere is at stake nothing less than the future life of the nation,with the possibility that it may suddenly grow to a far largerlife, the life of the completed Rumanian people.

    For the Rumania of today is but a mutilated land, the fragmentof the true Rumania, toward which the hearts of all herchildren yearn. Of the six divisions of the Rumanian people,only two, Wallachia and Moldavia, are as yet incorporated intothe Rumanian Kingdom. These two principalities, which hadtheir separate lives all through the Middle Ages, were unitedonly in 1859, by the odd yet simple expedient of electing thesame Prince for both. But Alexander John Couza, in whose

    person the two regions were joined together, though he hadthe aspirations of a patriot, had also, unhappily, the passionsof a libertine, and after seven years he lost his throne, joiningthe Kings in exile by the banks of the Seine. The twoprincipalities now united under the Rumanian crown, under therule of a Catholic Hohenzollern, (Ferdinand I., a man of 51, acousin of the late King Carol,) have, with an area of 50,000

    square miles, (just equal to England,) a population of something over 7,000,000, (equal to that of England 120 yearsago.) Of these, 6,000,000 are Rumanian by race and speech;but there are 5,000,000 Rumaniansalmost as many moreinterritories lying immediately about the boundaries of thepresent kingdom; and it is the heart's desire of everyRumanian, whether within or beyond the present frontier, thatthe partition should be broken down and the twain made one.

    Much of the largest fragment of "unredeemed Rumania" is thepart which now belongs to Hungarythe east of Transylvania,a very fertile plateau of the Carpathians and one of the fewparts of Europe which produce pay gold; it was broken off theRumanian Nation in the great tide of Mongol conquest whenHuns, Magyars, Tartars successively flooded Eastern andCentral Europe in destructive locust flights. In imperial Romandays, Transylvania was so much a part of Rumania that Romanroadsstill easily tracedjoin the two halves across theCarpathians, while the headquarters of the Roman legions wasat Apulumnow ridiculously renamed Karlsburg, inSouthwestern Transylvania. Only in the eleventh century did

    this region come definitely under the Hungarian yoke. It isnotoriousand not creditablethat the Rumanians subject toHungary have been much more severely bullied than theirbrothers in Bukowina, "the Beech land," directly under theAustrian crown. At the very time when, under Louis Kossuth,they were fighting for their own liberty, their own nationalideal, the Hungarians planned to disfranchise the Rumanian

    population of Transylvania. That province was to berepresented at Budapest by sixty-nine Deputies, who were,however, to be either Hungarians or Germans, with not asingle Rumanian among them, though these were two-thirds of the Transylvanian population, while the Hungarians were but aquarter, with the Germans less than a tenth. The truth is that10,000,000 Hungarians in Hungary have been trying to hold inserfdom an equal number of "inferior" races, of whom3,000,000 are Rumanians. The Magyars are just despotic inwill and act as are the Habsburgs themselves; and Rumania iseager to remedy that.

    The second fragment of "unredeemed Rumania" dwells inBukowina, immediately north of Transylvania. This land of beech trees among the Carpathian foothills has been far morecontinuously a part of the Rumanian realm than hasTransylvania. Indeed, it was only in 1777 that Austria obtainedfrom the Sultan of Turkey (the overlord of the Rumanianprincipalities) the cession of this, one of the richest regions of

    Moldavia, both in resources and in traditions; for it was here,at Sucheava, on a tributary of the Sereth, that the oldMoldavian Princes had their metropolis, while in the ancientconvent of Putna their bones were laid.

    These two parts of "exiled Rumania" are subject to Hungaryand to Austria, respectively, the one governed from Budapest,the other from Vienna. The third fragment, Bessarabiaso-called from the ancient Bassa-Rab Princes of Moldaviais atpresent a part of the Russian Empire. The region between the

    Dniester (which was the Russian boundary at the beginning of the nineteenth century) and the Pruth (the great tributary of the Danube, on which Czernowitz stands, the capital of Bukowina, which Brusiloff and Pflanzer recently put on themap,) was ceded by Turkey to Russia after the war of 1812,

    which Byron "wrote up" in "Don Juan," taking his hero throughits battles. In 1856, after her defeat in the Crimean war,Russia gave it back to Turkey, under pressure from Englandand France. Three years later, as we saw, the two principalitiesof Wallachia and Moldavia united to form modern Rumania, theRumanian national ideal being thereby immensely stimulated.But after the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878, in which the

    Rumanian armies, under their Prince Carol, fought so gallantlybeside the Russians, the southwestern part of Bessarabia wasgiven once more to Russia and Rumania received, as a veryinadequate solatium, the great Danube delta, called Dubrudja.But there are more than a million Rumanians in the territorywhich Russia got, and there will be no cordial relation towardRussia until these are once again under the Rumanian NationalGovernment.

    A STREET IN BUCHAREST, THE CAPITAL

    There remain detached Rumanian colonies, south of theDanube, in Bulgaria, Serbia, Macedonia the so-called Vlaks orWallachsfor the most part shepherds on the uplands of themountains; but it is difficult to see how anything short of wholesale migration can bring them into the Rumanian fold.And, indeed, finally to tranquilize the Balkans, a wholesaleexchange system is needed.

    The people of Bucharest, therefore, have good reason to begrave in the face of this great problem; they have now joinedthe Allies, and if the Allies win, Rumania stands to regain bothher fragments under Austria-Hungary; and it is said that

    Russia has promised Rumania Bessarabia also.
