On 4 June 2020, Romania marks the Centenary from the signing of the Peace Treaty of
Trianon. An essential page of the history of the Romanian nation, which took the form of a peace
treaty concluded by the Allied and Associated Powers, including Romania, with Hungary, as the
successor state of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a state defeated in the World War I. By the content
of this peace treaty, the Great Powers recognized the Union of Transylvania (and of the Eastern part
of Banat) with Romania, respectively the sovereign will of the Transylvanian Romanians expressed
by means of plebiscite on 1 December 1918 and, respectively, the Resolution of the National
Assembly from Alba Iulia.
The Treaty of Trianon has enshrined the realization of the right to self-determination of the
nations of the Austro-Hungarian dualist monarchy. For Romania, the mentioned Peace Treaty meant
not only the international legal recognition of the Union of Transylvania with the Motherland, but also
the confirmation of the political and civil rights of the Romanians who constituted the majority
population in this territory.
