Summary/Abstract: The authors of the article, studying Romanian and foreign bibliographical materials, some of them less known, highlight aspects of the events of the period 1919 - 1920, carried out by the Romanian authorities, both internally and externally, defining in the consolidation of the Romanian national unitary state. The authors of the article analyse the events that took place during the Paris Peace Conference and how they contributed to the fulfilment of the Romanian people's age-old aspirations, which gave them and still gives them viability in time, especially now that some great powers, through violence, want to go back in time, in order to regain their lost influence over territories and nations. The establishment of the Romanian national unitary state in 1918 and the international legal consecration of its borders by the Paris Peace Conference of 1919-1920, highlight the undeniable truth, which some have tried and still try to contest. We, the people of today, know that Greater Romania did not come about through the conquest of territories using armed force, but through the will of the entire nation to live united, free and independent in our ancestral homeland, from which no one will ever be able to dislodge us.
