Summary/Abstract: In the present study, I set out to present the way in which the discourse about the anniversary of the union of Transylvania with Romania evolved in the independent and political press of the first interwar decade. I chose the period 1919–1929 because it was the moment when the Romanian society experienced significant social and political changes. I will take into consideration the press, because it represents the most important social and political archive of that period, but also because the analyzed articles were signed by outstanding personalities of Romanian culture and politics. The documentary approach will draw on the articles published in the newspapers of the time, the memoirs of politicians, and the specialist bibliography.
