Summary/Abstract: In 1848, a series of simultaneous revolutions swept across Europe, moving from France towards the east, inflaming Germany, Italy, the Habsburg Empire, and the Romanian countries. Although the 1848–1849 Revolution was a manifestation of the entire Romanian nation, because of the specific circumstances in each province, it did not break out simultaneously, nor did it know the same development or intensity in all of them. Alongside the 2nd half of the 19th century and during the 20th century, several clichés which need to be amended developed in the Romanian historiography.
