On January 24, 2020, we were reminded of the glory deeds of our ancestors who gave us the most important lesson of solidarity 161 years ago: The Unification of the Romanian Principalities under the leadership of a Romanian ruler, Alexandru Ioan Cuza. It was the moment that marked the birth of modern Romania, through the will of some people able to build a consensus around a national ideal.
This important historical event is also known as the “Little Union” and represents a basic pillar for the accomplishment of the Romanian unitary national state.
