next year, no doubt we in the UK will be commemorating:
25th Anniversary of Falklands War - 1982
150th Anniversary Indian Mutiny at Lucknow - 1857
300th Anniversary Act of Union - 1707
No doubt, much naval gazing and soul searching about our Imperialist past will continue....  |

Today is the national day of ROMANIA. 
also the 11th year celebration of the most popular romanian TV channel, PRO TV. 
small info about what's all about.
The national day was chosen to represent the day all Romanians united, back in 1918. Specifically, after the first WW, Romania being in victory conditions, plus empires like the Russian and the Austro-Ungarian one, collapsing, three regions, being for many years in dominance of those empires (Transylvania most especially got good centuries of being an austrian borderline graphic) expressed and fulfilled the action of uniting with the "small Romania" of then.
Up on the 1st of December 1918, Transylvania made the final move, and the Unification took place at Alba Iulia.
just for facts:
- a Union of complete forms was previously made, in a legendary act, by Mihai Viteazu, in 1600.
- in 1859, the principalities of Tara Romaneasca and Moldova united ("small Romania")
- Romania looked actually like this back then (1918/1920-1940)
 - several regions, Basarabia most especially, got lost, in favor of the U.R.S.S, during WWII and after it, on the decisions table.
happy birthday to all Romanians.

thank you.
right now the image and the spirit over here (media focus, political speech and consideration etc) is not only towards the casual feeling of the Unification, back in 1918, but also towards the upcoming Union adherence, in January 1st 2007.
