This episode explores the pivotal moment in December 1918 when Greater Romania was born, uniting Transylvania, Bukovina, and Bessarabia with the Kingdom of Romania. We examine the diplomatic maneuvering behind the Union Council of Transylvania, the fierce opposition from the Hungarian minority, and the harsh terms imposed by the Treaty of Trianon in 1920. Lucas and Luna discuss how King Ferdinand I navigated the post-WWI landscape, the role of Ion I. C. Brătianu, and the complex legacy of ethnic minorities in the new state. From the military campaigns in 1916 to the political triumphs of 1918, we uncover how a fractured region became one of Europe's largest nations overnight, and the lingering tensions that shaped the interwar period.
