Summary/Abstract: The issue of national identity in Transylvania is commonly overwhelmed irrespective of the historical period traversed in treating different historical, religious, political documents or artistic-literary works. The political life in the 19th century in Transylvania was often intersected by the church's vision, all the more so since the church was a cohesion factor, as well as the affirmation of the Romanian nation, as Romanians did not have other institutions around to which the ethnic group is solidarity. Therefore, the establishment of the Romanian autonomous metropolitans in Transylvania marked the victory in expressing the identity of the nation and country of the Romanians of the lives of this historical region. The movement of emancipation of Transylvanian Romanians, the development of national consciousness will materialize in the events that marked the large union in 1918.
