Starting from several remarks on the principle of nationalities, the aim of this paper is to present a brief analysis of the historical documents that are relevant for the way in which the preparation and accomplishment of the 1918 Great Union was perceived by the American diplomatic representatives and politicians. The United States actively supported the national liberation movement of the oppressed nations from the collapsing empires and, in 1918, represented one of the great powers supporting the political cause of unification of all Romanians in a single, unitary state.

The paper emphasizes that Great Romania is formed as a result of several unions.Present in the union acts that led to the Great Union, the unionist spirit meant people's will to become a well-defined and powerful nation, the feeling that the right time had come that the dissolution of the Habsburg Empire is the occasion of the affirmation of national unity. All centripetal movements are considered that led to the unification of the romanians in one state.

"America First", it all begins today. Donald Trump's election as President of the United States has a significant impact on international security. Will the international security circumscribed to N.A.T.O. be assured in a democratic paradigm or "will everyone have the security they will pay for”? One year after the establishment of Donald Trump in the Oval Office, the North Atlantic security and, by extension, international security have undergone significant positive changes. In this regard, we recall the new pacifist attitude of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea with the consequence of initiating the dialogue with the Republic of Korea and, at the same time, the dialogue with the United States of America; we recall Russia's preventive defensive attitude following the launch of the missile attacks on Syria on 14 April 2018 by the United States and their allies; we recall the joint military exercises of the United States of America and France that started on 3 April 2018, exercises conducted on the US territory, with a significant message to Germany. In conclusion, we appreciate that the election of President Donald Trump has a significant impact on international security and the effects are positive. Donald Trump's bellicose attitude appears as a practical application of the Latin adage "si vis pacem, para bellum."

The activity and the memoirs of General Ion Dumitrache are undoubtedly important,if not capital, for knowing our history and especially the history of the Second World War.It is notorious that Mountain Troops represented the only elite troops of the Romanian Infantryduring the entire Eastern Campaign. In today’s jargon a kind of “green berets”. The best knownof them was the 2nd Mountain Division.The courage of the fighters under the command of General Dumitrache made the2nd Mountain Division to acquire on the front a well-deserved renown, in sync with thedetermination demonstrated by the troops of that great unit: “Divizia de Cremene”. HistorianAlesandru Duţu noted in his most recent volume that “General Dumitrache led large unitsof the Romanian Army that reached the easternmost point in the Second World War.The Romanian troops under his command fought in the Caucasus Mountains, the 2nd RomanianMountain Division reaching close to Grozny, the capital of Chechnya!”

The historical interpretation of recent events (contemporary history) has its familiar features. The very fact that historians not only work with sources but also with eyewitnesses who are often associated with them creates special demands for the ‘weaving of the narrative’. Historical knowledge not only clashes with the social (collective) memory but also with the ever-changing interpretations of the individual actors themselves. Therefore, in addition to reconstructing events and interpreting them, the historian also has to re-interpret already-existing narratives. The historian of contemporary events constructs a story within a context which society is familiar with first-hand. Therefore, it not only has the meaning of a symbol which can be related to the past, but it has its own specific, emotional, strategic or directly socio-political dimension. Put simply, the historian of contemporary history not only has to work with historical material and the interpretations which already exist around it, but also with (his/her and collective) experiences, prejudices and interests. None of this is straightforward.

Îmi petrec începutul de vară cu o bursă de cercetare. Am fost servit cu o „mobilitate”. Sunt invitat să fac drumul către centrul variabilității mele geometrice, să umblu printre caleștile de lângă Burgtheater și Staatsoper, să-mi beau cafeaua în Bothanischer Garten, dar aș putea să trec chiar și pe la Café Zentral. Străbat diminețile prin cartierul Alsergrund, de unde consilierul Geyrenhoff-Doderer venea să vadă demonia istoriei asaltând Palatul de Justiție în data de 15 iulie 1927. „N-am avut niciodată impresii mai însingurate.” Citesc cuvintele în romanul lui Nâdas, dar le pot și eu rosti. Am primit o cameră într-un apartament mare dintr-o casă burgheză cum se mai găsesc în centrul Timișoarei. Camere largi cu ferestre înalte, bucătărie încăpătoare și o cămăruță care era pe vremuri a servitoarei. Am crescut într-un asemenea loc. Ar trebui să mă simt ca acasă. Atâta doar că mai am în minte astfel de camere dintr-un loc în Budapesta despre care mi s-a spus că de acum e al meu. Pe undeva sunt și acolo acasă. în casa de pe strada Petofi, de lângă cafeneaua Pilvax, în locuința în care a trăit Rado György - poate cel mai important traducător maghiar din secolul abia încheiat - și în care tatăl meu n-a mai apucat să se mute. Am petrecut acolo două nopți, în camerele golite, fără nici o piesă de mobilier, stând pe o saltea așezată pe parchetul vechi.
