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’.

@@claudiu8426 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.

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.

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.

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.
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). ...

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.

@@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.
Romanians call Moldovans "our brothers from across Prut (the river separating the countries)", just so that you understand how we feel towards these people, without feeling bossy or patronizing. Also, the 3rd of Romania bordering Rep. Moldova is called Moldova, historically, and has been an united region with Rep. Moldova for hundreds of years. The common history, language, culture and blood ties are there, it's not some imaginary ambitions. And yes, Russia has russified it, just like they did to Ukraine.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Oh yes. The history of all these countries shows how that’s been done with forced relocation of ethnic Russians whilst “deporting” native peoples and sending them off to the gulags or just disappearing, so Russia has seeded the entire area with potential allies loyal to mother. 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. Not possible to do, but if you have Russians within your borders, you are not secure.
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. It is reported that Moldova is the poorest nation in Europe. By merging with Romania the economic situation would undoubtedly improve, plus there would be NATO protection from Russia devouring the little country.
@@danc7934 I am in Romania, but I'd always vote for a consensual unification with Moldova. Nothing like Putin's strategy EVER. and I would rather prevent having russian troops near civilians because they don't follow any humanitarian standards like NATO has, so they are trained to be terrorists - trained to murder parents in front of children or vice-versa, train to do a lot of horrors I can't possibly imagine. I could only wish that upon my single enemy at the moment: Putin himself.

while people say that an union is unlikely i want them to remember that experts also said that a russian invasion of ukraine is unlikely and yet here we are :)
Moldova should unify with Romania. They 100% the same people. They are only separated because of the USSR. They threatened Romania with invasion if they didn't give it to them
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.
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
But the polls I saw all showed most Moldovans opposed to reunification. I think the right to self-determination should be respected and Moldova should remain independent. As part of Romania, it would create separatist trouble.
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.
Especially when ..... it's just going back to the state of affair prior to the Soviet annexation of Bessarabia (well, sort of, Ukraine still occupies half of the region)
As Ukrainians, we had experienced centuries of division between different states. The Unification Act from 1919 when formerly Austrian controlled lands united with the "Big" Ukraine is a big holiday for us to this day. I wish our two neighbors get exactly what they want. If they feel like one, it is going to be worthwhile to reunify despite the costs ❤️🇲🇩🇷🇴
@@alinadrianon Transnistria is more doable than gagauzia because transnistria is literally at the border with Ukraine, but gagauzia is somewhat inside Moldova (in the south-eastern part). I do think that it is a good idea (for transnistria) to be unified with Ukraine, although that would cause more problems, but instead you can let them be independent (even if Russia does not agree)
It should be mentioned that this territory was annexed by the Russian Empire in 1812 from the territory of the Moldavian voivodeship by the Treaty of Bucharest of 1812, together with the Hotin district and historical Bessarabia (in Turkish Bugeac) ceded by the Ottoman Empire after signing the peace treaty. 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.
A little mistake: Romania didn’t become a SSR, just a SR (socialist republic) we never became incorporated in the big USSR and our leader then (which we hate very much don’t take me wrong) didn’t quite follow the stalinism regime, at all 😅 (And for context, Moldavia as a whole contained Bessarabia for hundreds of years, as a fact “Bessarabia” as a region was created solely to separate the romanian identity between the 2 lands)

At 4:39 : I kind of have the feeling that you meant the German reunification of 1990 and not the German unification of 1871. The comparison with that one seems a bit off to be honest.
@@rajkaranvirk7525 It's a 1990 German reunification thing because Moldova chose to join Romania and Soviets annexed it. There was a pro unification movement in the 90s in moldova too, but our president was a former regime collaborator who didn't want to upset Russia. The appearance of the Basarabian Moldova was also russians fault. So if Moldovans wish to join us, then it's just fixing an injustice.
I think the flag you used for Romania at 0:11 is actually the flag of Chad. The flag of Romania usually has a lighter blue more in line with that of the Moldovan flag.
I think so but honestly... Does it matter that much. Unless your a hard line nationalist its a minor and very easy mistake to make that isn't going to cause offence
It should be noted that "Moldovans" study in school "Romanian Language and Literature" and have to pass exams for this subject. Romanian is the official language of Moldova.

Moldovans were not interested in unification with Romanian. The only reason Moldovans wanted to obtain Romanian passports was because Romania was allowed to join the EU.Was purely economic! Romania was allowed to join the EU prematurely and I speak of first hand experience having spent time in both countries!
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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

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.

Ay, as a Romanian, this is a neat topic to see. In my opinion, though, I'd like to see reunification in a few years rather than immediately. Moldova is not very stable economically from what I've heard, and I don't think it'd fare well for us.
@@Imfernolistico Part of the problem is Moldova is a landlocked country thus the price of imported goods is increased significantly. If it had a coastline it would help its economy greatly, that said it’s other major problem is under development.

The case of Moldova is extremely similar to the case of Cyprus, an island that wishes to join another country but can't due to unresolved border disputes with a small unrecognised state
@@jebbo-c1l The entire purpose of the Cypriot state was enosis, aka unification with Greece. The guerrilla movement what clashed with Britain had unification with Greece as its ultimate goal.
Except Moldova doesn't want to join Romania, 3 years ago most polls showed less than 10-15% would have accepted a union, and now they tell us 43% - this is a blatant manipulation of the public opinion, an exaggeration at best, but even with these fake numbers a union is most definitely not possible with less than half of the populace agreeing to. 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. Turkey and Russia like to have some influence over Gagauzian and Transnistria, so Moldova joining Romania would end that for them and it could spark some unnecessary conflicts. It's best to keep these countries separate.

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!
Well Moldova wouldn't technically need to join NATO or the EU first if they are okay with the easy, smarter and more based route of formally annexing their territory to Romania. Of course the issue here would be that Moldovan politicians would be forfeiting their power and gives complete leverage to Romania as to how the union will be organized. But since Romania is a civilized modern country I'm sure they wouldn't abuse their position too badly. Definitely better then getting special military operationed in a decade.
I mean considering how Moldova was treated during the interwar period, I don’t think it will be that good. Most likely they’ll be treated as second class people
@@crazypsychovirgoman6990How? Do you not see a difference between the interwar period and modern day? Back in that period we had the Iron Guard. You do not see such things anymore. Don't be stupid.
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.
You forgot to say that 1/3 of the citizens of Moldova hold a romanian passport therefore a third of the population are already European citizens. I believe Moldova should push to become a member of the EU and schengen. As a romanian I don't care what ''russia'' wants. If they want a conflict it's fine. I forgot to say that historically transnistria was never part of Moldova, their Eastern border ended at Nistru River. Transistria is a trojan horse similar to kaliningrad which Moldova adopted in the soviet Union.
It's funny how all people of Moldova could become EU citizens in a few months if they only applied for a Romanian passport, which is given without any requirements. Then you have a piece of land that is formally outside of the EU, but a population that already is EU.
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.
@@cosmindvd join Romania for what purpose? To become another neglected region like the region of Moldova from Romania? ( FYI for foreign viewers: there are 2 Moldovas, the region and the republic).
@@butnarubogdan9964 You mean because moldavian region in Romania doesn't have highways? Think that in case of an eastern invasion the enemy would use them to penetrate the country fast towards the capital. It's sad, but it is better to expect the worst, for now.
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.
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
Same. I think of them brothers too that I want to get along with. I do hate the anti Romanian sentiment coupled pro Russian sentiment tho Basically I hope our efforts and care are not unrequited and they don't keep voting pro Russian parties
@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 :|
Give it another year and the situation could be very different. Russia will be too busy trying to keep its own country together, to be interfering in others.
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.
As a Romanian, I really hope they re-unite for 3 reasons 1). They are brother-states 2). They speak the same language 3). Moldova will not fall into the Russian sphere of influence **Transnistria**

Big Mistake: languages ARE NOT SIMILAR, they are THE SAME ! study more. And Flag, they are the same, only difference is that Moldova shows The Emblem on the Flag, and Romania does not show it, even if She has an Emblem, and the Moldovan Emblem is INCLUDED on the Romanian Emblem.
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...
Saying that the languages are "the same" is also an exaggeration. You should at least acknowledge that there is a difference in dialect (pronunciation and vocabulary) and orthography. We can be honest about the differences that do exist without undermining the case for a shared Moldovan and Romanian identity.
@@ems7623 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. 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.

Have a nice day
When Moldova joins the EU at some point in the near future, they will be United economically with Romania, and the other 26 EU countries anyway, while still maintaining national sovereignty anyway, which is a much more likely option. Eastern Europe is going through a period of post-colonialism just now after the break up of USSR and the further shift away from the Russosphere hastened by war in Ukraine. These countries have a reinforced sense of national identity as a result and in my opinion would be reluctant to give that up so easily, especially as there is a war ongoing in Moldova’s neighbour to try and maintain that identity. EU accession is, in my opinion much more likely, though I’m sure Romania will be there biggest alliance inside the EU much like Poland will be Ukraine’s.
Moldova is basically Romania 2.0 the most significant ruler of Moldova during the Middle Ages was Stephan The Great and he also is a big deal in Romanian history books. he was also the cousin of Vlad The Impaler ("Dracula"). if you really want to know the difference between the two people, just know this. Moldovans basically speak the exact same language but with a funny Slavic(Russian) accent. nothing else. the rest is exactly the same. linguisticlly or culturally.
you know what is Moldavia? what would Yorkshire or Maryland state be if soviets controlled it for 70 years and made it into one of their own socialist republics, IT SHOULD NOT BE A SEPARATE COUNTRY BY ANY RIGHT, only by soviet colonialism/imperialism that such enteties now exist, its like there was communist germany aswell that was created by the soviets, thats their way or divide and conquer

@@daviddifrAti vrut sa spuneti Nordul Bucovinei... Ati uitat sa mentionati Tinutul Herta care e la ucraineni. Si cum facem sa recuperam aceste teritorii ?
As a Romanian, this can be done only with a federalist constitution and accepting the realities of future Romania. Maybe a name change to Dacia to encompass the new Russian nationalists along side the Orban gang. That wouldn't be a problem, Romania will be more strong with a federalist approach, allowing more economic growth in some regions, the rise of the Western cities to rival the capital, but Romania is based on a French-Russian big state model and centralization is the core of that administrative and political doctrine. Also, the Hungarian iredentism and the rise of fascism in Hungary and neolegionarism and populism in Romania, as a response and copying Orban, makes federalism to be viewed by hot heads as treasonous. So no, there is no chance without a Russian invasion that would make Moldova desperate enough, there is no rational discussion in Romania about the nature of our state in relation to minorities. We do have comprehensive minority rights, but we are talking about nations that can't envisage themselves as minorities and that see Fascism as fair game in politics if the results favor their iredentist movements. And let's say Moldova will join without a federalist constitution. That would crumble the democratic and social-liberal nature of Romania, will make Romania border a Russian Transnistria, while being more corrupt and dominated by populist parties like AUR and PSD. The Romanian neolegionarism will profit from another rival and we will be Hungary v2 or worse. So no thanks if that is the case. So, I am not against a union, but I am against a union that has no merits beside some nationalist wet dream and strains even more the state structure. Transylvania was at the core of the nationalist movement in XIX century and there the results of a union without federalism are not the best, there are some frictions and not only between Romanians and Hungarians. Eastern Moldova has another rival identity on top of that.
wtf you talking about... Dacia was a unified country a one people "organization", Romania instead is given literally as a symbol of unification of the three very different but similar provinces/zones/peoples of wallachia, transilvania and moldova. Stop it with this dacia shit, its been dead for 2 millenias.
@@pikpikyn I am not talking about Dacia as in a Dacopathic nonsense, as in changing the identity of the Romanian nation, but as a more encompassing non ethnical identity to allow Russians to bond to the new country. The idea is quite old and was put forward not only by Romanians, but Hungarian princes of Transylvania too. Is adopted by UK, Switzerland on some level.
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.
Turks were sent and they never left, Russians were sent and never left, Stalin made sure the reunification to be very hard by creating Transnistria ... But Moldova is and always will be part of Romania !
Sent? They conqure & rule yhose lands. What about ukranian carpath regions and ismail region of odessa? Can you claim those historic land of yours? Couse if not then this unification is pointless.. Not to mantion givin up Transilvania to Hungary so they can unify with their people.
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’.

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.

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.

English text:
"1. For the purposes of Article 11 of the Constitution in conjunction with Articles 1 (1), 3 and 8 of the Constitution:
- 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. .
2. This Decision shall be final, shall not be subject to any appeal, shall enter into force on the date of its adoption and shall be published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Moldova."
Original Romanian text:
1. În sensul articolului 11 din Constituție coroborat cu articolele 1 alin.(1), 3 și 8 din Constituție:
- Ocupația militară a unei părți a teritoriului Republicii Moldova în momentul declarării neutralității, precum și lipsa recunoașterii și a garanțiilor internaționale ale acestui statut afectează validitatea prevederii constituționale referitoare la neutralitate;
- în cazul unor amenințări în adresa valorilor fundamentale constituționale, precum independența națională, integritatea teritorială sau securitatea statului, autoritățile Republicii Moldova sunt obligate să ia toate măsurile necesare, inclusiv de ordin militar, care i-ar permite să se apere eficient împotriva acestor amenințări;
- 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.
2. Prezenta hotărâre este definitivă, nu poate fi supusă nici unei căi de atac, intră în vigoare la data adoptării și se publică în Monitorul Oficial al Republicii Moldova.
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.
@@wallachia4797 so it makes it even easier to unite the states
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.
Romanians call Moldovans "our brothers from across Prut (the river separating the countries)", just so that you understand how we feel towards these people, without feeling bossy or patronizing.
Also, the 3rd of Romania bordering Rep. Moldova is called Moldova, historically, and has been an united region with Rep. Moldova for hundreds of years.

@@danc7934 King Charles was crowned in 1881, establishing the Kingdom of Romania. Before, it simply was the Principality of Romania.
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.
Conclusions, Romanian history is Very very complicated.

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.
I'm sorry but any poll getting 98 and 99 percent on anything is most likely not been fair. That's ridiculously high

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.

I’ve noticed how Russia likes to do a lot of repopulation at deportation of ethnicities, based on what suits its situation.
Oh yes. The history of all these countries shows how that’s been done with forced relocation of ethnic Russians whilst “deporting” native peoples and sending them off to the gulags or just disappearing, so Russia has seeded the entire area with potential allies loyal to mother. 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.

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 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

It should be mentioned that this territory was annexed by the Russian Empire in 1812 from the territory of the Moldavian voivodeship by the Treaty of Bucharest of 1812, together with the Hotin district and historical Bessarabia (in Turkish Bugeac) ceded by the Ottoman Empire after signing the peace treaty. 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.
A little mistake: Romania didn’t become a SSR, just a SR (socialist republic) we never became incorporated in the big USSR and our leader then (which we hate very much don’t take me wrong) didn’t quite follow the stalinism regime, at all 😅
(And for context, Moldavia as a whole contained Bessarabia for hundreds of years, as a fact “Bessarabia” as a region was created solely to separate the romanian identity between the 2 lands)

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.
2:29 The Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia united în 1859 actually, since the double election of the same person, Alexandru Ioan Cuza.

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.

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.

Moldovans are Romanians. The Moldovan "language" is a accent of Romanian. Moldova is Romania.

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

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.
Yes! Not sure what history RUclipsrs are reading to be honest...baffles the mind. It's not that difficult.

Except Moldova doesn't want to join Romania, 3 years ago most polls showed less than 10-15% would have accepted a union, and now they tell us 43% - this is a blatant manipulation of the public opinion, an exaggeration at best, but even with these fake numbers a union is most definitely not possible with less than half of the populace agreeing to. 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. Turkey and Russia like to have some influence over Gagauzian and Transnistria, so Moldova joining Romania would end that for them and it could spark some unnecessary conflicts.

@@VIGI05 The official statistics of the Moldovan population is as follows, 75.07% consider themselves Moldovan, and 7.00% Romanian, 6.57% Ukrainian, 4.57% Gagauzian, 4.06% Russian (Wikipedia source). 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...
My friend , thank you for doing a video on Romania and Moldova unification ; however the two countries are one and the same people just temporarily caught in artificial boundaries . The two "countries" united in 1859 not in 1881 , on January 24 th under the reign of Alexandru Ioan Cuza who simply find a cool solution to do it being elected in both countries as ruler realising defacto the Unification then doing it in the two Parliaments of the Romanian Provinces ; very smart indeed . 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!
The two "countries" united in 1881 by Russia and Germany, not in 1859, dear...
Go to school and study more, my friend...
Well Moldova wouldn't technically need to join NATO or the EU first if they are okay with the easy, smarter and more based route of formally annexing their territory to Romania.
Of course the issue here would be that Moldovan politicians would be forfeiting their power and gives complete leverage to Romania as to how the union will be organized.
But since Romania is a civilized modern country I'm sure they wouldn't abuse their position too badly. Definitely better then getting special military operationed in a decade.
lol Romania ceded moldova to Russia
I mean considering how Moldova was treated during the interwar period, I don’t think it will be that good. Most likely they’ll be treated as second class people
Above me, you can see two fine examples of Muscovite trolls.

@@WinterXR7 don't talk about what you don't know. They demanded it from Romania, Romania couldn't risk getting invaded
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.
Both, the EU, and NATO support Romanian reunification.
They recognize that it's the easiest path for Moldova's admission to EU and NATO integration.
EU and NATO support Romanian reunification??? Really? Who told you that? 🤣
You forgot to say that 1/3 of the citizens of Moldova hold a romanian passport therefore a third of the population are already European citizens.
I believe Moldova should push to become a member of the EU and schengen.
As a romanian I don't care what ''russia'' wants.
If they want a conflict it's fine.
I forgot to say that historically transnistria was never part of Moldova, their Eastern border ended at Nistru River. Transistria is a trojan horse similar to kaliningrad which Moldova adopted in the soviet Union.
totally agree with you
It's funny how all people of Moldova could become EU citizens in a few months if they only applied for a Romanian passport, which is given without any requirements. Then you have a piece of land that is formally outside of the EU, but a population that already is EU.

@@elukok says a guy that's probably never been to moldova
I like your accent and style of reportage. Congrats
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
Same.
I think of them brothers too that I want to get along with.
I do hate the anti Romanian sentiment coupled pro Russian sentiment tho
Basically I hope our efforts and care are not unrequited and they don't keep voting pro Russian parties
@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 :|
Give it another year and the situation could be very different. Russia will be too busy trying to keep its own country together, to be interfering in others.
we can only hope......
Yes yes yes, and Russia's economy will crash. Lol keep reading CNN.
Fingers crossed
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.
As a Romanian, I really hope they re-unite for 3 reasons
1). They are brother-states
2). They speak the same language
3). Moldova will not fall into the Russian sphere of influence **Transnistria**
As a romanian you should know your own history.. Not brother states, but same state broken by force in 1940 by USSR

Saying that the languages are "the same" is also an exaggeration. You should at least acknowledge that there is a difference in dialect (pronunciation and vocabulary) and orthography. We can be honest about the differences that do exist without undermining the case for a shared Moldovan and Romanian identity.
@@ems7623
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. 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.

Have a nice day
When Moldova joins the EU at some point in the near future, they will be United economically with Romania, and the other 26 EU countries anyway, while still maintaining national sovereignty anyway, which is a much more likely option.
Eastern Europe is going through a period of post-colonialism just now after the break up of USSR and the further shift away from the Russosphere hastened by war in Ukraine.
These countries have a reinforced sense of national identity as a result and in my opinion would be reluctant to give that up so easily, especially as there is a war ongoing in Moldova’s neighbour to try and maintain that identity.
EU accession is, in my opinion much more likely, though I’m sure Romania will be there biggest alliance inside the EU much like Poland will be Ukraine’s.
Moldova is basically Romania 2.0
the most significant ruler of Moldova during the Middle Ages was Stephan The Great and he also is a big deal in Romanian history books.
he was also the cousin of Vlad The Impaler ("Dracula").
if you really want to know the difference between the two people, just know this.
Moldovans basically speak the exact same language but with a funny Slavic(Russian) accent. nothing else.
the rest is exactly the same.
linguisticlly or culturally.
you know what is Moldavia? what would Yorkshire or Maryland state be if soviets controlled it for 70 years and made it into one of their own socialist republics, IT SHOULD NOT BE A SEPARATE COUNTRY BY ANY RIGHT, only by soviet colonialism/imperialism that such enteties now exist, its like there was communist germany aswell that was created by the soviets, thats their way or divide and conquer

As a Romanian, this can be done only with a federalist constitution and accepting the realities of future Romania. Maybe a name change to Dacia to encompass the new Russian nationalists along side the Orban gang.
That wouldn't be a problem, Romania will be more strong with a federalist approach, allowing more economic growth in some regions, the rise of the Western cities to rival the capital, but Romania is based on a French-Russian big state model and centralization is the core of that administrative and political doctrine. Also, the Hungarian iredentism and the rise of fascism in Hungary and neolegionarism and populism in Romania, as a response and copying Orban, makes federalism to be viewed by hot heads as treasonous.
So no, there is no chance without a Russian invasion that would make Moldova desperate enough, there is no rational discussion in Romania about the nature of our state in relation to minorities.
We do have comprehensive minority rights, but we are talking about nations that can't envisage themselves as minorities and that see Fascism as fair game in politics if the results favor their iredentist movements.
And let's say Moldova will join without a federalist constitution. That would crumble the democratic and social-liberal nature of Romania, will make Romania border a Russian Transnistria, while being more corrupt and dominated by populist parties like AUR and PSD. The Romanian neolegionarism will profit from another rival and we will be Hungary v2 or worse. So no thanks if that is the case.
So, I am not against a union, but I am against a union that has no merits beside some nationalist wet dream and strains even more the state structure. Transylvania was at the core of the nationalist movement in XIX century and there the results of a union without federalism are not the best, there are some frictions and not only between Romanians and Hungarians. Eastern Moldova has another rival identity on top of that.
wtf you talking about... Dacia was a unified country a one people "organization", Romania instead is given literally as a symbol of unification of the three very different but similar provinces/zones/peoples of wallachia, transilvania and moldova.

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.
They still confused the flags… it’s easy to differentiate…
Turks were sent and they never left, Russians were sent and never left, Stalin made sure the reunification to be very hard by creating Transnistria ... But Moldova is and always will be part of Romania !
Sent? They conqure & rule yhose lands. What about ukranian carpath regions and ismail region of odessa? Can you claim those historic land of yours? Couse if not then this unification is pointless.. Not to mantion givin up Transilvania to Hungary so they can unify with their people.
