Ferdinand I was King of Romania from 1914 until his death in 1927. He succeeded his uncle Carol I as king when Carol died without an heir. During Ferdinand's reign, Romania's territory greatly expanded after World War I to include Bessarabia, Bukovina, and Transylvania following military victories and the dissolution of empires. Ferdinand was crowned King of this newly enlarged Romanian kingdom in 1922 in a ceremony in Alba Iulia, Transylvania. He died of cancer in 1927 and was succeeded by his grandson Michael under a regency council that included Ferdinand's son Nicholas.

2. • Ferdinand I (Ferdinand Viktor
Albert Meinrad; 24 August 1865 –
20 July 1927),
nicknamed Întregitorul ("the
Unifier"), was King of Romania from
10 October 1914 until his death in
1927.
Born in Sigmaringen in
southwestern Germany, the Roman
Catholic Prince Ferdinand Viktor Albert
Meinrad of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen

3. • Ferdinand succeeded his
uncle on the latter's
death (Carol I died
without surviving issue)
as King of Romania on 10
October 1914, reigning
until his own death on 20
July 1927.

4. • The outcome of Romania's war effort was the union
of Bessarabia, Bukovina and Transylvania with the Kingdom of
Romania in 1918. Ferdinand became the ruler of a greatly enlarged
Romanian state in 1918–1920 following the Entente's victory over
the Central Powers, a war between the Kingdom of Romania and
the Hungarian Soviet Republic, and the civil war in Russia. He was
crowned King of Romania in a spectacular ceremony on 15 October
1922 at the courtyard of the newly opened "Coronation Cathedral"
in the historic princely seat of Alba Iulia, in Transylvania.

5. •A new period of Romanian
history began on the day of
the Union of Transylvania with
Romania (Great Union
Day, Marea Unire).This period would
eventually come to an end with the
international treaties that led up to World
War II. These ceded parts of Romania to its
neighbors. As such, they are widely seen as
an attempt to provoke the country into taking
sides and joining the war.

6. The Death
• Ferdinand died from cancer
in Sinaia in 1927, and was
succeeded by his
grandson Crown Prince
Michael, under a regency.
The regency had three
