Romania
Romania, located at the crossroads of Central and Southeastern Europe, has a history shaped by ancient civilizations, imperial rule, and the struggle for national identity. Its roots trace to the Dacians, conquered by the Roman Empire in 106 CE, which left a lasting linguistic and cultural legacy reflected in the Romanian language. During the Middle Ages, the principalities of Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania emerged, often resisting Ottoman expansion. In the 19th century, these principalities united, forming the modern Romanian state. Romania gained full independence in 1877 and became a kingdom in 1881. After World War II, Romania fell under communist rule, culminating in the brutal dictatorship of Nicolae Ceaușescu, which collapsed in the 1989 Revolution. Today, Romania is a democratic republic, a member of the European Union and NATO.
