L’idée de « Grande Roumanie » au xixe siècle

Abstract

This contribution aims to open up avenues for reflection and provide context for the idea of Greater Romania in the 19th century. Conceptions and expressions of the idea varied, from dreams of re-establishing historical Dacia to political union of the provinces inhabited by Romanians. Its history is far less linear than nationalist historiography long claimed: the idea, born outside the Romanian countries, had its moments (1848) but faced bitter opponents, until the eve of its realization.
