Summary/Abstract: The main objective of this article is to present a viewpoint as to the reasons for which we consider king Ferdinand 1st the father of our homeland. One such reason would be that, the same as other countries have their founding fathers, like – for instance – Italy, for which king Victor Emanuel 2nd is called “padre de la patria”, so does Romania in the person of the great king Ferdinand 1st the Unifier, who reunited all of the Romanians living on both sides of the Carpathians into a single, centralized state: i.e., the Greater Romania, in 1918.
