The Chronicle of a Politica Collapse. The Romanian Communist Party and the End of Greater Romania

Summary/Abstract: In the first day of September 1940, the public opinion was informed that the Government acquiesced in the surrender to Hungary of a part of Transylvania. The population received the news with vivid outrage. In the larger cities of Transylvania, crowds filled the streets to protest against the decision. In those days, the Transylvanians had been hoping that Iuliu Maniu would oppose, and that he would take up the role of leader of the struggle for territorial integrity. The latter avoided public appearances, but he had declared himself absolutely against the surrender in his discussions with King Charles II and in the messages he sent to the “arbitrators”, Hitler and Mussolini.41 The National Peasants’ Party scheduled a large protest in Alba Iulia for September 15th.
