Aspecte ale istoriei socio-culturale și publicistice a românilor din Banatul Sârbesc între două mari evenimente din istoria neamului (1848–1918)
Aspects of Socio-Cultural History of Romanians from the Serbian Banat between Two Great Events from the History of the Nation (1848-1918)

Summary/Abstract: The Romanians living in the Western Banat brought a large contribution to the revolutionary events of 1848–1849. Most often being included willingless either on the Serbians’ side or on the Hungarians’, the Romanians had to sacrifice their lifes for allien interests. Inhabitants from several Romanian villages of the nowadays Serbian Banat payed a huge price for their participation to the revolution. However, during the following decades, there were positive effects of the 1848–1849 revolution to be seen in the national awakening of the Romanians living in these parts of the Banat. Even if such phenomena had a difficult development, refrained both by obstacles imposed by the Hungarian authorities and by numerous strifes in the relationship with their Serbian neighbours, the Romanians succeeded to defend their national interests in many fields, insomuch as present generations can take pride in their great deeds. Belonging to the Austrian military border, the Romanians from Pančevo and surroundings militated, in the first place, for better life conditions and civil liberty, and last but not least, for the right to preserve their own national identity, by founding Romanian Orthodox parishes, editing books and newspapers, opening of Romanian schools, as preconditions for the forming of a future more consistent intellectual and political elite.
