The Lower Paleolithic is when people first settled in what is now Romania, and written records from that time attest to the existence of the Dacian kingdom, its subjugation, and the Roman Empire’s later Latinization of it. The Danubian Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia were personally united in 1859 to become the modern state of Romania. In 1877, the newly formed state—officially known as Romania since 1866—became independent of the Ottoman Empire. Following its declaration of neutrality in 1914, Romania began fighting alongside the Allied Powers in 1916 during World War I. Following the conflict, the Kingdom of Romania annexed Bukovina, Bessarabia, Transylvania, and portions of Banat, Crișana, and Maramureș.
Due to the Second Vienna Award and the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Romania was forced to hand over Northern Transylvania to Hungary and Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina to the Soviet Union in June–August 1940. Romania entered World War II on the Axis side in June 1941 after signing the Tripartite Pact in November 1940. It fought the Soviet Union until August 1944, when it joined the Allies and reclaimed Northern Transylvania. Romania joined the Warsaw Pact and became a communist republic after the war and the Red Army’s conquest. Romania started the process of moving toward democracy and a market economy following the Revolution of 1989.
