France Relations between Romanian and French are

ancient: in 1396, the Knights of Jean Nevers, son of the Duke of Burgundy, fought against Turkish soldiers along the Wallachian Prince Mircea the Elder.

In the seventeenth century and eighteenth-century French-Romanian relations have intensified, especially due to the numerous traders and French intellectuals who traveled Romanian Principalities.

in 1762, diplomat and writer Claude-Charles de Peysonnel proposed a French representative in the Romanian Principalities, that goal will be achieved in 1798: opened a consulate general at the time a vice-consulate in Bucharest and Iasi. In the nineteenth century, the majority of Romanian students studying in Paris, getting so full, rich knowledge and modern ideas of social and political renewal. Romanian students founded in 1846, in the Latin Quarter of Paris Society Romanian students whose chairman will be elected Ion Ghica and Secretary Rosetti. Members of the association were, among others, Demetrius Bolintineanu, MK Nicholas Bălcescu, foreground figures of the revolutionary movement in 1848 in Romanian Principalities. Poet Alphonse de Lamartine will accept honorary chairman and will become, then foreign minister of the provisional revolutionary government. After the unification of Moldova with Romanian State in 1859, warmly supported by France, is open up new diplomatic relations between Romania and France. They were established at legation level on February 20, 1880, MK, former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, the first minister plenipotentiary in Paris. Relations between Romania and France have experienced a great boom after World War. European renowned Romanian diplomat Nicolae Titulescu was undoubtedly the architect of this special relationship. On November 29, 1938, diplomatic relations were raised to embassy level. In September 1944, the Romanian government has recognized the provisional government of General de Gaulle, relations are taking place at embassies.

France is manifested both in the official plan and the citizens, sympathy and solidarity to face the Romanian Revolution of 1989, the event that triggered the fall of communism. After December 1989, the Franco-Romanian relations have developed considerably. Exchange of official visits have multiplied, including at the highest level, which allowed to set up a solid partnership political, economic and cultural differences between the two countries. Worth emphasizing in particular the active support of France for integration in the political, economic and European and Euro-Atlantic security. In 2010 we celebrated the 130th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations

Italy Italy and Romania are not only united Latin roots. The emergence and

affirmation of the two countries on the European political scene involves many interesting similarities. As in recent years, in Italy, there was a rising economic reasons, a large Romanian community, we consider necessary to make a brief overview of the relations between the two sister countries. Unfortunately, ignorance of journalists and politicians exploited population of the peninsula led to a hostile attitude against Romanians. A better understanding of the historical ties between Romania and Italy, and we will hopefully dispel xenophobia artificially created. In the mid -nineteenth century Italian and Romanian patriots worked together assiduously to national rebirth of their peoples . Italian and Romanian territories that were disparate the subject of dispute between the great powers of Europe. Lombardy and Venice were under Austrian occupation , and the remaining space was divided in Italian history more strictly supervised absolutist states in Vienna. The Romanians , however , were in place expansionary intersecting interests of three empires : Austrian , Russian and Ottoman . Dobrogea was occupied by the Turks , Russian Bessarabia and Bukovina , Transylvania and Banat by the Austrians. Country Romanian and Moldova , which will be later embryo of modern Romania , were in a relationship of vassalage to the Ottoman Empire.

Like the Italians , Romanians were included fever Revolution of 1848-1849 . Spring has arrived and Romanian peoples who wanted breaking the chains of imperialist and creating a nation-state . The same high feeling motivated and Italian revolution leaders . After defeating the Romanian Revolution of 1848-1489 , a series of Romanian revolutionaries fled to Italy. For instance , Nicholas Bălcescu , exponent of the revolution in the Romanian Country , died in 1852 at Palermo was buried in Italian soil . Giuseppe Mazzini and Giuseppe Garibaldi sympathized because Romanian people .

Sixth decade of the nineteenth century witnessed the emergence of two national states in Europe , Italy and Romania . Italian unification was made around Piedmont and had the spotlight on the great politician Camillo Benso , Count of Cavour . As for Romania , the unification of Italy was largely dependent on the French emperor Napoleon III and the Little Napoleon as ironic writer named Victor Hugo . It must be said , that cunning Cavour tenaciously pursued the interests of his country and even cynicism. For instance , there was at one time a ' Cavour ' that Romanian and Moldovan State had ceded it to Austria to give Piedmont Lombardy and Venice. Fortunately, this plan was not heard by the powers. However , it should be noted that in 1859 Romania emerged through the two Principalities under the leadership of Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza. Italy emerged as a unified state in 1861 , and the capital moved to Rome in 1870. Romania became an independent state in 1878 by participating in the Russo-Turkish War ( 1877-1878 ) . Establishing diplomatic relations at the Legation , between Rome and Bucharest occurred on December 5, 1879 , by recognizing the independence of Romania to Italy and accredited in Bucharest Count Giuseppe di Vergano Tornielli - Brusati . In 1882 , Italy joined the German- Austro-Hungarian alliance creating the Triple Alliance . Romania joined in turn by Germany and Austria -Hungary in 1883 and Italy in 1888 and became part of this alliance. So , until 1915 , when Italy entered World War I on the Entente side , between Bucharest and Rome existed a political-military alliance . We consider it necessary to bring up the fact that the great exodus that swept Italy in the late nineteenth century and the beginning of the affected Romania . Many Italian immigrants have arrived in Romania in search of a better life. Until recently , there was substantial Italian community in Romania . Please note that the Italians were received in those difficult moments with typical Romanian hospitality without any ethnic tensions .

Romania and Italy in World War fought on the same side : the Entente . Between 1916-1918 worked in Romania a French military mission . At the end of the war saw both countries met national interests. On 1 December 1918 appeared Romania Mare. This date became the National Day of Romania after the 1989 revolution . In the interwar period Italian- Romanian ties have weakened in intensity. Dictatorship of Benito Mussolini made the problem of international relations , the two countries have different views . Romania called for democracy and supported the League of Nations. Italo- Romanian ties became hostile during 1935-1936 when Italy invaded Ethiopia. Great Romanian diplomat Nicolae Titulescu openly condemned this aggression , which displeased the fascist power of Rome. Therefore, Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany directed the Second Vienna Arbitration ( August 30, 1940 ) that northwestern Transylvania was ceded to Hungary , although most of the population was made up of Romanian .

Italian and Romanian armies have experienced the ordeal of war in the East worn against Bolshevism . After the Second World War were considered defeated both countries but Italy, although it contributed to the defeat of Nazi Germany less than Romania , received cobelligerent status which denied Romania who fought against Nazism from 23 august 1944-8 May 1945 . The monarchy was abolished in both Romania and Italy . Italians have repudiated monarchy by referendum while in Romania it was abolished by the new brutal communist power .

In the communist era ties between the two countries have been influenced by the hostility of the military-political blocs created by the capitalist and the communist world. After the fall of the communist regime in Romania, in 1989, between Rome and Bucharest reînflorit good relations. In the last decade many Romanian are left to work in Italy. Unfortunately, the media that is in a perpetual search for topics created sensational current racist whom Romanians innocent victims. This situation reminiscent of fascism and Nazism, have ruthlessly crushed. The democratic space of the European Union is no place for xenophobia or racism.
