The Activity of Dr. Vasile Lucaciu during the Period of Romania’s Neutrality: 1914-1916

Summary/Abstract: After leaving Transylvania, in the fall of 1914, with the exception of the diplomatic mission in Italy, Vasile Lucaciu will spend the entire period of neutrality in Romania, as a refugee, together with Octavian Goga, his brother Constantin, and hundreds and thousands of other refugees, who will campaign for Romania’s entry into the war against Austria-Hungary. Together with other Transylvanian intellectuals, Octavian Goga, Sever Bocu, Onisifor Ghibu, Vasile Stoica, Octavian Tăslăuanu, Dr. Lucaciu supports Romania’s entry into the war. In December 1914, Dr. Vasile Lucaciu is elected president of the “Cultural League” and will participate in numerous national rallies in Bucharest, Galați, Brăila, Iași. But the culmination of the Transylvanian activity will be the designation of Lucaciu and Goga as candidates for the partial elections in Galați and Caracal from the Unionist Federation. The diplomatic representatives accredited in Bucharest, Count Czernin and Hilmar von dem Bussche, but also the Chancellor of Germany or Prime Minister Tisza will protest against the candidacies of the two nationalists. The two people from Transylvania will eventually have to withdraw their candidacies.
