FROM UNION TO THE UNIFICATION: THE UNIONIST REPRESENTATIVES’ POLITICAL DESTINIES IN BUCHAREST DURING 1918-1923 PERIOD

Summary/Abstract: The article reveals the way in which the unionist representatives, from Transylvania, Bessarabia and Bukovina had tried to continue their political destiny in Greater Romania, in 1918-1923. Usually the start of the Contemporary period of the Romanian History is accepted by historians in 1918, after the Great Union. The period 1918-1923, from the Great Union to the Constitution of 1923 represents a period of transition from the Modern to Contemporary Romania. We can consider that, immediately after the Great Union international recognition in 1919-1920 Peace Conferences in Paris-Versailles, the political activists from the new united historical regions with Romania had understood that their people, united with the Modern Romania (Old Kingdom) might be represented. Also, they were a lot of supporters of the federalist ideas in Transylvania and Bukovina, in the borders of Austria-Hungary. They had lost their influence, completely after 1920. But even the unionist activists considered that the new united territories might preserve their local administration which was not in accordance with the Romanian Constitution from 1866. In these conditions, some of the unionists decided to enter in the Bucharest political arena, creating the frame of a political fight with the Modern Romania politicians.
