A little about Romania |
 |
Romania's history has not been as
idyllically peaceful as its geography. Over the centuries,
various migrating people invaded Romania. Romania's historical
provinces Wallachia and Moldova offered furious resistance to
the invading Ottoman Turks. Transylvania was successively
under Hapsburg, Ottoman or Wallachian rule, while remaining an
autonomous province.
Romania's post WWII history as a
communist-block nation is more widely known, primarily due to
the excesses of the former dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. In
December 1989 a national uprising led to his overthrow. The
1991 Constitution established Romania as a republic with a
multiparty system, market economy and individual rights of
free speech, religion and private ownership.
