Visit the Fortress Museum in Przemyśl: https://goo.gl/maps/8vdZ8AbqapG2 Romania's history before World War 1 was heavily influenced by the great powers surrounding them. Not only was a considerable minority of Romanians living in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Romanian royal family had ties to Germany, Britain and Russia. After fighting in the Balkan Wars, Romania remained neutral during the first two years of World War 1 but decided to join when the moment seemed right. » HOW CAN I SUPPORT YOUR CHANNEL?

Anyone know of any good Romania or Bulgaria WW1 books?

When you said vallachia, it'a not true about us using v for w.
-
can't wait for DICE to turn the whole romanian army into WE WUZ
-
it seems that "fantasy" played a huge role on the war...
-
I'm Romanian

Actually at the first language census in Transylvania in 1869 made by the hungarians there were 59% romanians and just 24% hungarians.. only after decades of forced magyarization the percentage of hungarians increased to 31% and the percentage of romanians dropped to 54% in 1910.

All these pre world war I family ties were so fucked up.
-
Thumbs up buddy

Awesome! (glad you kept the vest!)
-
Yo! You got the wrong Bratianu( The name and the dates at least. You got the picture right though!). The one that you show died in 1891 as it is written in your video also at 08:22. The one that was actually prime minister during 1916 is this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_I._C._Br%C4%83tianu. Small differences but still get it right and make your researche more accurate! Btw big thumbs up for the episode from Bucharest!

It's funny how everybody keeps saying Romania actually won the war... Because seriously, all that happened was that it got used by both sides and then made to pay damages for everybody involved... What can I say, only some privileged fuckheads can have justice done... And then dare to say that being called winners is enough to compensate for all the kids that came back in a box or without a leg, as well as all the resources that have been stolen in the meantime... Fancy talk from all of those manipulative scumbags. Yet, who will ever give a shit about what truly happened?

The village i grew up in was created after the great war by veterans (or the families of those who died in the war).
Men who joined the army were given plots of arable land as reward, so that even if they were to die their children would be better off.
The village is even called Munteni-Buzau (originally Munteni din Buzau) which translates as Mountainfolk from Buzau which is the are they came from. -
Thank you for stating how the Romanian army actualy was !!
I am tired of our own nationalistic history... -
So in summary Romania betrayed his allies, waited for the good opportunity to suckerpunch an unguarded border, sucked the dick loke he had to, asked for armistice and 1(!) day before the official end of the war joined again the victorious troops resulting the biggest territory win from all participants?
And did you know that those Romaninans in Transylvania in 1913 had MORE ethnic Romanian schhols for themselves than the who Romania had at the same time?
Transylvania had absolutly a cultural, economic and social superiority over Romania. Like if you would compare Ukraine to Austria today...
And those French assholes simply wanted to ruin it. That is the cruel truth.
It simply did not worth. -
Can you do a episode on Portugal please?
-
I am sorry, but you seem to be a bit biased in this episode. You show us Hungarians, as oppressors, while in fact it was Hungarian territory before the Romanians started migrating into Transylvania, you ignore the fact, that Transylvania while it has at least as large Hungarian-German heritage, than it has Romanian. I don't want to offend any Romanians, but while the Royal Hungarian government was indeed oppressive in ethnical matters, we had all rights to control Transylvania.
