Encyclopedic overview
Administrative map of Romania in 1930 Greater Romania (Romanian: România Mare) was the Kingdom of Romania during the interwar period, within its borders achieved after the Great Union; or the related pan-nationalist ideal of a nation state which would incorporate all Romanian-speakers.
In 1920, after the incorporation of Transylvania, Bukovina, Bessarabia and parts of Banat, Crișana, and Maramureș, the Romanian state reached its largest peacetime geographical extent (295,049 km). Today, the concept serves as a guiding principle for the unification of Moldova and Romania.
