THE RO MANIAN PRESS IN INTERWAR ORADEA ON THE 1917 - 1919 EVENTS AS FOUNDATION FOR THE CREATION OF GREAT ROMANIA

Abstract

Although during the interwar period (1919 - 1940) the city of Oradea had a Hungarian and Jewish demographic majority, Romanians constantly grew in number. The phenomenon is explained by the majority Romanian ethnic reservoir in Bihor County and the hinterland of the city. The economic and administrative development demanded skilled manpower, constantly growing, knowledgeable in Romanian language, which the city could no longer provide. The neatly superior biological force of Romanians in Bihor, compared to that of the ethnic minorities in the area, facilitated their migration from the village to the city and the gradual preponderance of the Romanians in Oradea and other urban centers in the county.
