Summary/Abstract: The downfall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the eve of the armistice of November 10, 1918 generates confusion in Transylvania. Cluj, hitherto dominated by Hungarians, makes a dramatic transformation due to several Romanian personalities belonging to different age groups, but united by solidarity in actions: Amos Francu and Emil Dandea. Their efficient collaboration delays coagulation of resistance likely to jeopardize the Romanian army's advance according to the instructions emanating from Paris and the upcoming offensive in April 1919, which will consolidate the decisions taken at Alba-Iulia on December 1st, 1918.Later on, the trials and tribulations of life deeply affect both of them. While Amos Francu’s career takes a downward plunge, repositioning himself as a tribune of his beloved inhabitants of the Apuseni Mountains, Emil Dandea leaves Cluj and becomes one of the most important mayors of Tîrgu Mureş.
