Romania and Moldova have a long and extensive history together. They have similar languages, culture and history. So is that enough to help them unify? Some want that to happen, but others are resistant to the plan... so could it happen?

Our languages aren’t ‘barely distinguishable’, they are literally the same language. Moldova’s national anthem, ‘Limba noastră’ was written by a Romanian in Romanian and means ‘Our language’.
Thank you for actually saying it maybe someday others will actually understand
we still have our regional accent
@@danc7934 so does every other region in Romania
So it's pretty much like Germany and Austria? While they're not going to unite (again), concerning the language and who wrote the national anthem, it's a similar story.
@@Ionel714 but ours is better
A correction. East Germany didn't excatly unify with West Germany. It became a part of the West Germany and therefore legally made a part of EU and NATO without having the standards to do so. The same model is suggested for Moldova which therefore is not needed to upheld the standards of EU and NATO if the country cease to exist.
That's what I thought.
So Germany is really West Germany?
yeah, that's what i was about to say, those concerns about their constitution are solved pretty easily, vote for the country as an independent entity to cease to exist and become part of Romania : poof ! everything else instantly becomes obsolete. Moldova didn't "join nato" it ceased to be, there's no Moldova now.

Rominian state and rominian language existed only since 1881. Moldavian state and Moldavian language officially existed since the middle of the 14th century. In that way, rominian language is a nickname that was given to the Moldavian language, robbery of language, history and culture, information war for the purpose to provide classical racism, cultural genocide, and the destruction of identity and statehood of the Republic of Moldova. Rominian language did not exist in history, it is like saying the Queen of Great Britain speaks the American language, and the English language does not exist anymore, and Britain must be quickly reunified with New Zealand...

Păzea, să nu-ți sară ochii din orbite, romine!
Traducerea în română a istoriei din documentele arhivelor medievale ale regatului Ungariei, care a înfiinţat statul numit de atunci Moldova! „Până la mijlocul secolului al XIV-lea, Hoarda de Aur a mongolilor s-a retras din centrul Europei, devenind din ce în ce mai puțin capabilă să-și păstreze puterea la periferiile sale. În 1345 căpitanul secuilor András Lackfi, care a respins cu succes atacurile regulate a mongolo-tătarilor, a trecut Carpații și a câștigat o mare victorie asupra hoardelor mongolilor, care s-au retras dincolo de Transnistria din cauza atacurilor repetate ale secuilor şi ungurilor în anii următori. În anul 1352 (după alte surse în 1359), regele Ludovic cel Mare al Ungariei a însărcinat voievodatul Maramureșului condus de Bélteki Drágffy să stabilească o linie de apărare împotriva mongolo-tătarilor și a făcut o cerere către papa Clement al VI-lea să autorizeze reorganizarea diecezei de Milkov. Astfel s-a înființat Principatul Moldovei, vasal al regatului Ungariei, al cărui domnitor a devenit Bélteki Drágffy, care a fost numit mai târziu de cei de pe Dîmbovița, cică Dragoș Vodă, de rîsul curcilor nu alta... Noi, cînd vorbim de state vorbim de o identitate naționala, din cauza asta prima Moldova a lui cică, Dragoș a fost formata din ceea ce se numește romani, adică Valahi trădători de credința ortodoxă si transformați in mincinoși si tîlhari si evident sluji josnice ai Europei și ai Papei de la Roma, cu religia lor catolică. Dar a venit Bogdan Vodă care a restabilit credința locuitorilor dintre Carpați și Nistru si a făcut Moldova Ortodoxă, așa cum este pana azi, unde toți cei maramureșeni în frunte cu cică, acel Dragoș au fost toți trimiși pe scuturi peste Carpati. Citește documente originale ale istoriei și nu porcăria voastră de pe Dîmbovița, numită cică istorie, numai prostii și propagandă nazistă...
Având posibilitatea de a organiza o forță militară redutabilă cu ajutorul căreia a dominat viața politică locală, Bogdan a putut pune bazele viitorului stat fie prin lupte fie prin tratative. Încercările ulterioare ale lui Ludovic cel Mare al Ungariei de a-l readuce pe Bogdan la statutul de vasal nu reușesc și, ca atare, acesta, învingător asupra forțelor militare trimise contra lui, se menține ca domn independent. Pe data de 2 februarie 1365 regele Ungariei, este nevoit să recunoască faptul că Țara Moldovei nu mai era stăpânită de el. Cronica domniei lui Ludovic, regele Ungariei, scrisă de Ioan de Târnave, semnalează eșecul expedițiilor repetate întreprinse de oștile regatului ungar pentru a-și impune din nou dominația la răsărit de Carpați, precum și rezultatul final al luptei, anume transformarea Moldovei în stat independent („terra... Moldavie in regnum est dilatata”). Moldova își câștigase astfel independența prin rezistența încununată de succes, opusă tendințelor de dominație ale regatului ungar.

În studiul său monumental Originea romînilor (1927) vestitul lingvist român Al.Philippide conchidea: „Moldova şi Muntenia nu au legături genetice şi istorice”. În Încă în 1908 N.Iorga se străduia să-i lumineze pe romîni: „Între Prut şi Nistru se întinde ţara, pe care ruşii au numit-o „Basarabia”, cînd au cucerit-o în 1812. Majoritatea locuitorilor de la ţară a acestui mare şi bogat ţinut se numeau şi astăzi se numesc moldoveni şi ei vorbesc limba moldovenească”

Cantemir scrie ca valahii secole la rând s-au folosit de alfabetul si ortografia limbii moldave "lingua moldavorum", "lingua MOLDAVICA", pe care el o descrie la cererea savanților Europei de la Academia din Berlin in tratatul "Descriptio Moldaviae" - la 1714, când încă nici îngerii din cer nu știau ca peste 164 de ani va apare pe harta un stat cu numele straniu - nu de Dacia, dar de "Rominia". Nici pomina in "Descriptio Moldaviae" de Rominia, romini si limba romina.

I'm a Romanian and during my studies at university, I met many students from Moldova. Moldovans benefit from Romanian citizenship and more, which almost completely nullifies the border between our two countries. I'd love to see a reunification between our countries, but due to all the damage that Russia has done, this dream is becoming smaller and smaller. Much love from Romanian to Moldova, though. Peace!
Spot On...but that's one and only reason so many got Ro citizenship...just because its beneficial for themselves....if you working outside and meet moldovans majority says its just paper and right by association....and all got this at the core of any answers...Russia is big stronger than România..
Yes but Ro appreciate ya and given opportunity and etc....and this are the nice moldovans...old man hate Ro lol...dont know i wish Moldova independence and not unification
@@RA28xx91 Russia may be more powerful militarily, but its citizens are poorer than Romanians and is considered a less developed country than even Romania. So, I don't think what you're saying is completely true, otherwise Moldovans would get Russian citizenship rather than Romanian. Moreover, we also speak the same language and have an almost identical culture. I don't really agree with your arguments.

It wont happen because
1) moldolvan will have a light vote weight in romania bigger population
2) moldolva who used to be bessarabia was basicaly a romanian territory captured by turks then conquered by russian
And basicaly moldolva is the luxumbourg or belgium of romanian & russian cultures. So it will always be a distinct culture because of this reality
3) russia might go to war over romania if it tries to incorporate moldolva. And wont be able to trigger article 5 since its engaging into conquering a territory
And even if article 5 is triggered i wouldnt be suprised if all countries are too scared to do anything 😂 too much countries trust way too much article 5 of nato. They will defend you against small country like egypt or lebanon. But not russia or china 😆
Isn't nice to hear about two countries thinking about to merge because they have a lot of things in common for a change?
Well they were divided after WW2. Moldova was a part of Romania. So this would be a reunification, not a unification
It's just empty talk, the re-unification will never happen, there isn't enough support on either side.
@@scratchy996 Well we are talking years of changes Moldova has to make, firstly to have the same laws as Romania. Than they need to get inside NATO, inside the EU and make changes for this as well. They need to vote if they want to be inside the EU and inside NATO. We are talking 25-35years. It´s not like they will join Romania and everybody is happy.

@@scratchy996 the fact that the conversation even exists it's already good.
@@phorias This is a bad video, with many mistakes.
It will give people the wrong idea.
1. Without the Russian "blessing" the re-unification won't happen. That's the reason why Transnistria exists in the first place.
2. If by some miracle Moldova joins the EU and NATO, then they don't need a re-unification with Romania.
Why would they give up control over their country to the a**holes from Bucharest ?
As an outsider, I see only two countries divided arbitrarily, with a common language, that would have greater economic and political power together. I therefore feel that unification seems natural
You could argue that for a lot of countries though, Germany/Austria, America/Canada, UK/Ireland, most of Latin America. Your perspective ignores historic and cultural differences that usually get in the way of such integrations.

I am Moldovan, therefore Romanian. A fake ”Moldovan” ethnic identity distinct from the Romanian one was only invented during Stalin's time. It served him as a pretext for occupying half of the historical Moldova. Our old Moldovan writings clearly show our ancestors identifying themselves as Romanians - in chronicles, official documents as well as in simple private letters. Moldovan poets as Alecu Russo, V. Alecsandri etc were praising "Romania" years before the Unification between Wallachia and Moldova. In their view, Romania was the totality of lands inhabited by Romanians - (Moldova, Wallachia, Transylvania, Banat etc).
We should re-unite and sue Moscow for the hundreds of years of occupation :(
@Sash Lilac 🇷🇺 Well, in 1940 USSR claimed North Bucovina from Romania as compensation for the so-called 22-years ”occupation” of Bessarabia. I imagine 200+ years is worth something considerable.
Then, add the full Romanian bank gold reserves evacuated in 1917 to Moscow and stolen by USSR...
@Марк Лепић In Bucovina there are not many Russians. In North Bukovina there are mainly Ukrainians, then Romanians.
In 1774, when the Austrian Empire broke Bucovina away from the principality of Moldavia, the total numbers of inhabitants were: 6890 families, of which 6164 Romanian, 360 Jew (relatively recent colonists), Russian 268 families (incl. Ruthenians, Moscals, Lipovans), Gypsies 51, Hutsuls 40 (on Ceremus river), Greek 11, Armenian 8, German 5, Polish 5 and Serbian 2.
Ruthenians are actually Ukrainians; Moscals are Russians (Moscovites);
Lipovans are ”old-believers” (Russians that came 100 years before, fleeing religious persecutions, not willing to accept a reform imposed by the Russian Orthodox Church).
All these 3-type of ”Russians” summed 268 families only back then.
The census was performed in whole Moldova by the Russian army general Rumeantsev, whose army was occupying that land following a Russian-Turkish war, just before Austrians broke Bucovina away in good understanding with the Russians.
Genetics in North Bucovina is also different from rest of Ukraine, more similar to Romania / Moldova (according to a Ukraine-Russia study). Google Популяции Закарпатья и Буковины на генетическом фоне окружающих территорий (Утевская, 2015).
Abstract: "haplogroup I2a (P37.2). ... Within the range under consideration, this haplogroup occurs with frequencies of the order of 25-35% among Romanians, Moldavians, and ... Ukrainians of Transcarpathian and Chernivtsi regions. Chernivtsi region is the only one of the regions of Ukraine where the frequency I2a exceeds the frequency R1a. [...]
Two main clusters are formed on the classification tree. The first included all non-Slavic populations of the Carpathians, the second - only Slavs. However, the population of the Chernivtsi region was within the first cluster, revealing affiliation to the Romanians and Moldavians..
moldovans are descendants of moldavia, a distinct kingdom for hundreds of years, modern romania is a wallachian construct, so moldova should stay independent
@@bigboyman5743 Moldova was built by Romanians (a.k.a. Wallachians). That is why many Moldovan voivods (kings) named their country also Wallachia, or MoldoVlahia. That is why Moldovans named themselves "Romanians" in the middle ages (or named themselves "Wallachians" - in letters written in foreign languages).
That is why MoldoVlahia united with Wallachia in 1859 and formed modern Romania.
The name of the country was not identical to the name of the ethnicity. Like Muscovy/Russians. Like Prussia/Germans. Like Piedmont/Italians etc.
If someone sues Moscow for that, the best play for Russia would be to pay up.
Not because they want to, but because it opens up a vast sea of opportunities for the East, especially China.
Right now, post WWII reparations are mostly a sign of a goodwill, however, if you move the "acceptable" time period plank to a 100 or more yeas into the past, it'll become a nightmare. Technically even Germany would be able to ask other EU states for reparations for the oppression they had received during 19th and early 20th century (although for the latter, pretty much every single culprit paid the price in blood).
Because of that, any law that is made has no retroactivity. "Exceptions" to the law making others jealous and demanding an "exception" for themselves.
Romania and Moldova = one soul one love 💙💛❤

Truth is always better than your BS where is always better to kiss politicians hidden interests butts.

You can stick you politics manipulation where the sun dont shine because the real truth about moldavians is known by too many romanians that you cannot afford these lies unless you speak in front of non romanians or outsiders that can be fooled easily.
Moldova is not in eu space so its not any anti eu propaganda but i know you cannot afford the real truth, you puppet.
If a possible reunification happened using the German model, this wouldn't require Moldova joining the EU and NATO, as the newly reunified nation would ultimately continue Romania's membership in both. So Moldova would only (maybe) have to change the constitutional clause about its neutrality before reunification.
@lati long I'd say it's the other way around. The more Russian-speaking territories are being annexed by Russia, the higher the probability that R. Moldova will be absorbed by Romania.
That is not possible anymore, the German model is a model from 33 years ago and it isn't applicable today.
Back then, Germany had the direct support of both America and the Soviet Union. America in turn obtained the tacit approval for reunification from Western European countries which weren't very keen on it before.
On top of that, East Germany basically self-dissolved itself on live television and people took to the streets immediately to see the reunification complete.
At that point, everything good that could've happened, did happen.
Romania does not have any of these things going for itself, all it has is domestic support, NATO backing, Russia slowly pushing Moldova into a corner and support for unification slowly rising in Moldova.
That is to say, the institutions and circumstances which allowed the seamless reunification of Germany and direct transfer of influence in Eastern Germany from the Eastern to the Western Bloc are not currently present in the Romanian-Moldovan scenario.
A lot of people who don't understand the actual historical and political details seem to think that it's easy for Moldova to simply have a referendum and have it all done and dusted with, but the reality is a lot more complicated and it was even mentioned in the video itself.
Unfortunately I feel TLDR didn't do a good enough job to explain to the largely foreign masses why a popular support and a simple reunification referendum isn't enough and why the German model has nothing to do with the realities of Eastern Europe.
TLDR: It has been over 30 years and Germany had a special opportunity and literally EVERYONE'S approval to reunify, Romania does not.

- The military occupation of a part of the territory of the Republic of Moldova at the time of declaring neutrality, as well as the lack of recognition and international guarantees of this status affects the validity of the constitutional provision regarding neutrality;
- in case of threats to fundamental constitutional values, such as national independence, territorial integrity or state security, the authorities of the Republic of Moldova are obliged to take all necessary measures, including military ones, which would allow them to defend themselves effectively against these threats;
- the deployment on the territory of the Republic of Moldova of any troops or military bases, led and controlled by foreign states, is unconstitutional;
- the participation of the Republic of Moldova in collective security systems, such as the United Nations security system, NATO, peacekeeping operations, humanitarian operations, etc., which would impose collective sanctions against aggressors and offenders under international law, is not contrary to the status of neutrality. .

- dislocarea pe teritoriul Republicii Moldova a oricăror trupe sau baze militare, conduse și controlate de către state străine, este neconstituțională;
- participarea Republicii Moldova la sisteme colective de securitate, asemenea sistemului de securitate al Națiunilor Unite, NATO, operațiuni de menținere a păcii, operațiuni umanitare etc., care ar impune sancțiuni colective împotriva agresorilor și infractorilor de drept internațional, nu este în contradicție cu statutul de neutralitate.

TLDR: Joining military alliances, hosting foreign troops and bases are not constitutionally permitted on Moldovan soil. HOWEVER, in face of the war against Transnistria and the presence of Russian bases in Transnistria (which are recognized as part of Moldova), the Moldovan government is free to take whatever action necessary to combat this, included but not limited to joining military alliances and hosting other foreign troops on its territory until the mediation of the conflict.
Basically the status of neutrality becomes invalid once neutral status of the country is impeded by a foreign aggressor and therefore Moldova is free to do anything in this situation.

Moldavians are NOT romanians. Moldova is 550 years older than Romania. I have read the history of Moldova, with simple research anyone with a brain, will notice that Romania was first a province in north turkey before 1800, as you can see here an official map made by historian Mathew Carey. There was no Romania in Wallachia, Moldova, or Transylvania. Ottomans have invaded Wallachia and occupied it for more than 400 years. Romanians immigrated, stole the part of Moldavian Land and the Moldavian language, and called it "Romanian" language and rominian state only after 1881.
It is the MOLDAVIAN language, It is called MOLDAVIAN since the 14th century for your knowledge. Rominians share the MOLDAVIAN language since 1881 because Rominia annexed only part of a Moldovan territory with Moldavian language, and Valahia with valahian language, where Rominia and rominian language were born by Russia in 1873 -1881. Actually, the Republic of Moldova is another part of MOLDAVIA, an independent country with the MOLDAVIAN language.

The smallest of factors to consider by the countries regarding merging is that a top Russian general said that after Putin overran Ukraine and folded it back into the Soviet Union, their next conquest was going to be Moldova. So the question is: do you want to become part of the old / new Soviet Union, or do you want to become part of Romania.? That's the choices.

Yeees, but a merger would neuter Romania's economy and it's not doing brilliantly as it is.
The answer to your question is YES, they should and shall eventually unite, being one nation basically, just as West & East Germany were.
There is an important misrepresented fact in your description, the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia merged in 1859, the new state began to be internationally recognized as Romania starting with 1862. In 1881 it was elevated from a mere Principality to a Kingdom. So, from 1881 onwards Domnitor (aka Prince) Carol I is crowned as king and becomes King Charles I of Romania.
Misrepresentation number 2 - Romania was never an SSR, i.e. was never a Soviet Socialist Republic. Implying otherwise is highly offensive to Romanians, as it was indeed a communist state but nevertheless heavily Russophobic.
If Moldova wants to EU fast, easiest way is to reunite with Romania.
Imagine wanting to join exploiters. lmao
It would also bring them into NATO, which would screw over the russians and whatever plans they might've had for the region.
@@yourealittlebitfat4344 EU is exploiters? Look at what generally happens to countries' economies after joining. Where are you from if I may ask?
It's the other way around, if Moldova wants to unite with Romania, the fastest way is by joining the EU.
Under NATO and the EU, it is very difficult to just "unite" two countries that are not already part of both institutions for reasons that should be obvious.

Correction to the correction: Romania was formed as a principality in 1859, through the union of Moldavia and Wallachia. Its ruler was a ruling prince, Carol. It won its independence after the War of Independence in 1877-1878. In 1881 the Parliament officially raised the status of the country from that of a principality to that of a kingdom, thus, Prince Carol was crowned as King Carol I. Romania remained a kingdom until 1947, when the russkies with their Red Army set up a communist regime, much like the rest of eastern Europe. It was in 1989 that Romania finally got rid of all the Russian made communist bs.
@@aciobaniteicezar1170 While Romania did sorta win it's Independence in 1878 at the treaty of Berlin, independence did not happen overnight, Most sources agree that Romania became a full sovereign state in 1881, As I said, the Process of Romanian sovereignity was gradual and slow, and I would argue that the Fight for Romanian independence started in 1848 with the Romanian revolution, slowly over the decades becoming more independent with policies reforms and political Projects that distanced itself from the Ottoman empire and brought it closer to The "West", such as the Union in 1859, The arrival of a German Duke to be King, in order for Romania to Be Recognized as a Western country,and the Abolition of slavery which came about due to rise of Enlightenment values.

Moldavians are NOT romanians. Moldova is 550 years older than Romania. I have read the history of Moldova, with simple research anyone with a brain, will notice that Romania was first a province in North Turkey before 1800, as you can see here an official map made by historian Mathew Carey. There was no Romania in Wallachia, Moldova, or Transylvania. Ottomans have invaded Wallachia and occupied it for more than 400 years. Romanians immigrated stole the part of Moldavian Land and the Moldavian language, and called it "Romanian" language and rominian state only after 1881. It is the MOLDAVIAN language, It is called MOLDOVIAN since the 14th century for your knowledge. Rominians share the MOLDAVIAN language since 1881 because Rominia annexed only part of a Moldovan territory with Moldavian language, and Valahia with valahian language, where Rominia and rominian language were born by Rusia and Germany only at 1873 -1881. Actually, the Republic of Moldova is another part of MOLDAVIA, an independent country with MOLDAVIAN language.

As someone unfamiliar with the situation, your introduction and prehistory of the countries involved was informative and helpful to understand the intricacies here.
this video barely scratched the surface. you should really go to pre-history, to really understand why the people of both countries (except the ethnic minorities that came later of course) are literally the same people. it's just that these people lived at the border of 3 great empires and were almost continuously divided, with short periods in which, with great sacrifices, they were able to reunite.
The title "new nation" is misleading, actually. Romanians are much older than the earliest Romanian-speaking state. So, if the unification does happen, it's just an affirmation of what many Romanians (and Moldovans) think the way things should be.
Yes and it is more like moldova becoming part of romania. Rather than a new nation it is a country getting larger and a country dissapearing

This is how Russia has successfully manipulated the entire region. What happened in Georgia is happening in Ukraine with separatists loyal to Russia causing conflict and strife, declaring independence and appointing unelected administrators loyal to Russia. A disaster for governments of all those countries trying to balance sovereignty with the Russian ants always gnawing away. Ship all Russians back to the motherland and then let them apply to return to sovereign nations who can decide to accept them back … like a visa arrangement.

‒ Glotonimul moldovenească este menţionat în documente şi studii străine: moldausche Sprasche (Tirol, 1591), lingua moldavorum (Franţa, 1591);
‒ Primul Lexicon moldovenesc (Catastiful mănăstirii Galata) a fost alcătuit în 1588;
‒ Filologia moldovenească se afirmă definitiv în veacul al XVII-lea:

‒ Vestitele Letopiseţe moldo-slavone (11 la număr), reflectînd istoria Moldovei din 1352 pînă în 1590, se scriu la curtea Moldovei şi în renumitele scriptorii de la Neamţu, Bistriţa, Putna din ultimul pătrar al veacului XV (Istoriografia Valahiei din

It seems like you are the one who needs to think my dear friend. You are indeed a minority of about 7% of the population...
For people asking if Moldova is the one opposing unification, the answer in my opinion as a self declared romanian from moldova is: not really. It's just that all the momentum for unification fell flat after 92-95 because of lack of action from both countries' politicians as well as the Nistru conflict which complicated things further. After that even if a relative majority number of people from both countries wanted reunification (including me) the people who don't (primarily russian/russian speaking people in northern moldova and from găgăuzia were just loud enough about it that it never happened. Nowadays I find reunification quite unlikely and while I do support it with all my heart I can't deny that all political parties that associate themselves with unification (mainly AUR in ro and PLDM in md) are filled with opportunistic asskissers that have no real intention of addressing this question.
I wouldn't be so doubtful, fear has a way of driving things, in this case a fear of Russia
The most corrupt parties in Romanian are the USR, PSD and especially the PNL, better get them out of power if you guys wish to Unite with Moldova so much

France also helped under Napoleon 3 rd ( Thank you France! ) with the Unification while realising that Europe could use Romania as the bumper if it would be a strong state at its Eastern flancs to keep Russians away from advancing towards the west of Europe . He was so smart indeed . After 1881 , Russia invaded Romania, stole Moldova ( Basarabia) , killed and deported millions of Romanians from there and sent Russians into Moldova, he ethnically cleansed the province and diluted the Romanian population there . for 30-40 years including under Stalin and after 1941. In 1940 also Hitler signed a treaty wits Stalin's USSR and stole Moldova again Nowadays , as always Russia is still pushing more and more towards West and we see the cruelty they are serving to Ukrainians who are also slavic and still murder them with cold blood . Long live and God Bless Romania!

Many things are right, but the history and culture are not among those. To see it simpler: Eastern part of Romania is called Moldova, too. That one + Republic of Moldova + some territories N of both Moldovas+ S of the current Rep. Moldova belonging now to Ukraine were the medieval Moldova. So all those were ONE country, they do not have simple "cultural ties" as you said. All the political main structures/the capitals were in the Romanian Moldova, in different towns, depending on the period. The population of medieval Moldova was in today's terms... wait for it... Romanian, but at that point, as the modern Romania did not exist yet (will be later created by unifying the principalities with Romanian population + some changes after different wars), they were called Moldavians as that was the name of the country. Like the old principalities in most European countries; for instance people spoke German language and were actually Germans in both Prussia and Bavaria, even though for the period before the unification they were (also) Prussians and Bavarians. Exactly the same with people in Walachia, Moldova and so on, the language was Romanian etc. So, people spoke Romanian language. In 1812, the Russian Empire took about half of Moldova, the Eastern half which, with some changes, is nowadays the Republic of Moldova. The name you used, "Basarabia" as we call it, initially was just the name of 3 counties in the South of today's Rep. Moldova, now belonging to Ukraine. In order to artificially create a new national identity, imperial Russia gave that name to the whole region they took in 1812. The Russians at some point even banned Romanian language in schools, they changed the alphabet etc. There was a brief period when the Eastern Moldova came back to the "mother-country", that was aprox. between WW1 and WW2, so for about 22 years.

Bucharest since 1812 after the end of the Russo-Turkish war (1806-1812). The fact that part of the territory of the voivodeship was ceded to Russia, despite the Romanian-Ottoman treaty that guaranteed the integrity of Moldova, was a mistake that continues today.
2:29 The Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia united în 1859 actually, since the double election of the same person, Alexandru Ioan Cuza.
A personal union is not quite the same thing. It can be de facto the same (Denmark-Norway before the Napoleonic Wars) or not (Spain and Portugal for about 65 years).
@@peterfireflylund They were in a personal union starting with 1859 (like Denmark-Norway), and became the centrally unified Kingdom of Romania in 1877, after the declaration of independence and beginning of the 1877-1877 Russo Turkish War (Romanian war of Independence in Romanian historical sources)
@@peterfireflylund Alexandru Cuza was brought to power with a clear and publicly proclaimed unionist schedule. The people in Moldova and Wallachia did not vote for Cuza, they voted for Union. Cuza immediately started his program to make the personal union a real union, and he - having the support of most people - did it!
As a Czech I support Moldovan-Romanian unification just like I support Czecho-Slovak reunification. We are stronger together brothers
Forget Czecho-Slovak reunification, it won't happen. It's been 30 years since the split, and the Slovaks want to be independent. The situation is also not the same as with Romania/Moldova, where they both speak the same language. Czech and Slovak are similar, of course, but not the same languages.
Almost 50% of moldovans have romanian citizenship.
The Kingdom of Moldavia was divided in two parts by Russian and Ottoman Empires in 1812. The Bessarabia from which smaller part the actual Republic of Moldova was formed and Moldavia which united with Wallachia and formed Romania.
I would love to see these countries merge.
I'm very excited to see Romania make such progress and I'm sure they can pull Moldova with them.
This part of the world has all the potential and they deserve to prosper.
Greetings from Greece.

While Romania is only about 100 and so years old, the Romanian people are the people who share the same cultural values and language such as the language spoken in Moldova, Wallahia and Transilvanya.

Moldavian does not mean nonromanian, it means one tipe of romanian and it is related to one of the three old regions of Romania
A small correction here. Wallachia and Moldavia actually unified in 1859, not 1881. The UK and France granted them some sort of a limited union under the name of United Romanian Principalities, with some common institutions, but different leaders. However, both Moldavia and Wallachia chose the same person as ruler, Alexander John Cuza (Alexandru Ioan Cuza in Romanian), creating a de-facto full unification.
What happened in 1881 was that under the rule of Carol I of Hohenzollern, the United Romanian Principalities became the Kingdom of Romania. This marked the full independence from Russia and the Ottoman Empire, which had some sort of an influence battlefield over the 2 principalities.
Romania and Moldova are reunited in a sense. Throw me, my family and countless others, who regained the romanian citizenship.

For those who don't know, there's a region in Romania called Moldova, and both the region of Moldova from Romania and the Republic of Moldova (the country) form the historical Moldova, a bit confusing isn't it? That's why in Romania to not cause confusion, we just call the moldovans from the country of Moldova "moldovans beyond Prut", and just "moldovans" for the ones from our country. "Prut" is a river that separates the two countries and acts like a natural border. I myself was borned and raised next to the Prut river on the romanian side, so most likely I'm ethnically a "moldovan" which sounds absurd even mentioning it. In my eyes I don't see two different countries, and even the majority of moldovans have the romanian nationality for the obvious benefits.
Great interesting video!!!
Im happy you guys that you’r supporting us🇷🇴🇲🇩❤️ to happen democratically thats all that matters!❤️🤗
Some time ago, I was in Bucharest, and there were graffitis saying "Moldova is Romanian" in many places
Well...Moldova is Romanian, because it is literally a region in our country. The grafitti you saw says Basarabia is Romania and it is refering to an alternate name for the Rep of Moldova. The vast majority of Romanians have no intention of taking any land over by force, we respect the borders and the free will of our brothers across the Prut river.
Written by Moldovians. We don't want to unite with Moldova, no thanks
Great summary.
Romania actually united in 1859 under the name "United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia", then it got renamed in 1862 to "Romanian United Principalities" and finally renamed again to just "Romania" in 1866. 1881 is when Romania became a monarchy.

My great grand parents moved from Moldova to Wallachia in the 1920s when there was only one country of romance language in Eastern Europe. When Hitler and Stalin decided that there should be an arbitrary border inbetween, my grand parents remained in Romanian whereas my cousins are now in Moldova. My dream is that Moldovans live as what they really are : Europeans. This must be without the intermengling of Hitler, Stalin, Putin or whoever else. Inside the EU and Nato nothing can stop the Romanians to care about each other, for example Romanians were happy to send vaccins and money to Moldova when it was needed. I have best thoughts for all the Ukrainians, Russians and Gagaus from Moldova who want to live as Europeans, the Russian culture is superb.
Most Moldovans don't want to be annexed to Romania as the actual romanian zeitgeist is horrible, they are no more romanians but USA fat people.
Just an example, in Romania there are more churches than schools, casinos at every corner of the city, Moldovans don't want that trash culture.
Moldovans are way better than Romanians.
And would not be a unification but annexation.

Moldovans are Romanians. The Moldovan "language" is a accent of Romanian. Moldova is Romania.
Edit: I replaced "dialect" to "accent" due to Romanians & Moldovans correcting me.
Not really a dialect, more like an accent. They do have a few regional words that either don't exist or are not used anymore in Romanian.
Not even a dialect, it’s virtually identical to romanian. They just have a weird accent but in writing their romanian and our romanian is the same
It’s not a dialect, it’s the same language with some regional terms. But Romania also has regional terms, like in the eastern part they have words that the western part would not use, so this is in no way any issue
Random question to Moldovans; my channel is about dubbing in film/TV/games so how is dubbing culture in Moldova? Do Moldovans just watch dubs made in Romania or do they have a separate dub like how Spanish has a separate dub for Spain & Latin America?

There is a bitter side to this romanticised love story and it's similar to the Ukranian's. And that is... Moldovans played on both teams. During the 90' and the 2000', many voices rose from the romanian government supporting the union, precisely because Romania was doing better economically. But Moldovans saw themselves as nowadays Orban's hungarians. That is " we can get the best from both sides": Romanian nationality, given by law to any moldovan, thus the right to work and travel through the EU freely... and economic aid, gas, oil and protection from mother Russia. That backfired, as we all know. Now, obviously, the percentage of unionists has risen. And it will rise even more when the first russian bombs hit moldovan civilians. When blood will be on the streets, all moldovans will sudenly feel romanian, but it will surely be too late.
as moldovans, our government doesn't represent us and never did. they're simply corrupt politicians that sold their country to russia. many of us have always fought for romania and against russian opressors. nothing else really to say.
I'm proud to say that playing both sides is a national trait of all Romanians. If NATO (USA) and EU are going to financialy aid România for reunification I think everyone would embrace Moldova.

Moldovans and Romanians would have to be in favor with over 80-90% at least for a union to work smoothly without creating a civil war or even a regional conflict as a result.

Not really the newest nation, mate. Romania and this part of Moldova that we also call “Basarabia” were united since XIX century (1859) till communists came and anexed Moldova in 1940. We still have a large part of it but the one we lost was larger.
As a Romanian, my humble two cents is that unification is basically a pipe dream. Far more realistic and better for everyone involved is if we can got Moldova into the EU and NATO, they'd be protected from Russian aggression, have access to the EU development funds, and can build up their country. As true as it is to say that Moldovans are basically Romanians separated by outside forces for a long time, that long time has meant that they have a desire for self-determination that should be respected.
EDIT: To put it in a slightly different way, when your brother needs help you give him what you can and introduce him to the right people, you don't start micro-managing his life for him.
u on crack bruv... any romanian not encouraging the unification is not a romanian or doesnt know history enough. sit down !
The problem with that is that Moldova as Moldova isn't going to be able to qualify for membership of either for years, maybe decades. If it is their self-determitined desire to be part of both, then unification with Romania is pretty much the only way to achieve it in a timescale that is likely to matter

@barbariandude With brothers like you who needs enemies, mate. The Russians can take a vacation since you're doing their work for them.
For all that talk about brothers you sure want to behave like a stranger. A nice stranger, sure, but a stranger still. And that BS about self-determination? Oh man, nice one. I see now that it's self-determination if they stay separate like Russia is encouraging them(just like all the countries it wants to enslave again or use as buffers). We couldn't possibly encourage to unite with us, to welcome back our brothers into their own house. No sir, when we do it it's micromanagement.
Some brother you are.
so basically what you are saying is that Moldova joining EU on its own would create just another economic aid leech abusing the system, all dutifully funded by us EU taxpayers with nothing to give in return? at least you are open about you guys position i guess :|
just these 2 flags aren't that confusing, hopefully one day TLDR can make a video and tie in Moldova, Romania, Andorra & Chad just to frazzle peoples brains.
Add Belgium to the mix as well
@@Pavos are you blind or something?
Romania-Moldova union like Germany!
Romania and Moldova former known as Wallachia and Moldavia? 😵💫 what are you talking about?
Wallachia, Moldova (Moldovia) and Transilvania are historical regions from Romania, but Wallachia is not Romania.
Republic of Moldova, known as Bessarabia.
And the language is the same, the main difference is the accent, moldovian it is not even a dialect, it is just romanian with a bit of russian accent.
Wallachia and Moldova ( Romanian Moldova and Bessarabia) unified and formed Romania.
Wallachia has inside of it other 3 historical regions: muntenia, oltenia, dobrogea.
Transilvania has inside of it other historical regions: banat(half in romania, half in serbia), maramu, crișana and central transilvania.
Moldova has inside of it other historical regions: main moldova (now in Romania), bukovina (half in romania, half in ukraine, bessarabia (republic of moldova) and bugeac ( now in ukraine).
