Day of the Unification of the Romanian Principalities
January 24, Wednesday
The Day of the Unification of the Romanian Principalities or, unofficially, the Little Union Day (Romanian: Ziua Micii Uniri), is a public holiday of Romania celebrated every 24 January to commemorate the unification of the Romanian Principalities (Moldavia and Wallachia), also known as the "Little Union", on 24 January 1859 under prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza. This event is deemed as important as it is considered the first step towards the goal of achieving a unitary Romanian state, something that is considered to have been achieved on 1 December 1918, when the Romanian National Assembly declared the union of Transylvania, Banat, Crișana, and Maramureș with the Kingdom of Romania.
