Summary/Abstract: For centuries, the Romanians from Transylvania were excluded from their country’s political decision not only through foreign alliances and unjust laws but also with iniquity often filled with cruelty. Everything was determined in political forums: Royal and princely courts, Diet without representatives of the Romanians, who were the most numerous and the oldest populations, who actually gave the country’s majority ethnic character. This situation has been perpetuated from the early Middle Ages until the Great Union from the 1st December 1918. The major movements of Romanians for freedom and social and national justice were crushed with cruelty. The most notable political act of the Romanians: the Great Unification of Alba Iulia, eliminates injustice from a long history and align this part of Europe, back on justice, freedom and democracy for all its inhabitants.
