Summary/Abstract: The article presents important events that led to the Union of Bassarabia and Romania. Without the Military Committees and the Moldovan military structures, actively supported by the Romanian Army through concrete military actions to destroy Bolshevism and the Red Army, the "ruler" of Bassarabia, the miracle of the Union could not have been achieved. The heroic Romanian Army was called to fight the powerful enemy from the east, Imperial-Bolshevik Russia, to escape from the centuries-old yoke of tsarism Romanian Bassarabia. The Romanian generals, officers and soldiers performed acts of courage and heroism, driving the "invincible army of the Russian-Soviet Empire" from the Romanian lands. The Great Headquarters and the military structures of the 6th Corps of the Romanian Army, through concrete combat actions, step by step, threw the remains of the Russian army over the Dniester, freed the territory of Bessarabia and the lower part of the Danube from the Bolshevik-Russian armies and terrorist gangs. Romanian generals: Alexandru Averescu, Constantin Prezan, Ion Istrate, Constantin Dragu, Ioan Popescu, etc. they demonstrated through fights and battles that interwar Romania had one of the best and most heroic armies in Europe.
