aspirations, which have become hers.

3. QWEEN MARIA AND THE GREAT UNION
There have been several moments that preceded, but also that succeeded
the Great Union from December 1, one thousand nine hundred and
eighteen (1918), moments that in fact consolidated this historical date.
The stages of the Union remained in history with two dates: that of the
Julian calendar or "old style" still used in the Kingdom of Romania and
Bessarabia at the time of the Union, and that of the Gregorian calendar
used in Transylvania and Bucovina. Due to a need to consolidate and
modernize the new unitary state, Great Romania officially adopted the
Gregorian calendar in one thounsand nine hundred and nineteen (1919),
April 1 becoming officially April 14th (fourteen).

votes the union of Bessarabia with Romania.
 15/28 November 1918: The general congress of Bukovina unanimously
votes unconditionally on Bucovina's unification with the Kingdom of
Romania in the context of the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
 November 18th / December 1, 1918: The Great National Assembly in
Alba Iulia proclaims the Union with the motherland of the Romanian
provinces over the Carpathians.
 On the same day, King Ferdinand and
Queen Maria return from Iasi, Bucharest

the Romanian army and allied detachments
(English and French), passing under the Arc
de Triomphe. Queen Mary, who was clinging
to her a bunch of yellow chrysanthemums,
greets those who acclaimed the royal cortege.

5.  1919: The main concern of Romanian diplomacy during this year was the
ratification of the Unification acts of 1918 by the peace treaties. The head
of the Romanian delegation in Paris, Ion I.C. Brătianu faces many
difficulties because Romania, like other small countries, had been
passed into the category of states with limited interests and was not
accepted in the elaboration of peace treaties. Against this background,
Queen Mary, with the agreement of Ferdinand, decides to go to Paris to
support the cause of Romania, in the context of her relations with the
Western world.
 March 8, 1919: Queen Mary was received at the Elysee Palace by
President Raymond Poincare, who handed her the Grand Cordon of the
Legion of Honor, a decoration that was given to the Heads of State in
office. The Queen then went to London where she was received by King
George.
 April 10, 1919: Queen Maria returns to Paris to meet with US President
Woodrow Wilson.

6.  May 1919: King Ferdinand I and Queen Maria made a visit to
Transylvania, stopping at Brasov, Fagaras, Sibiu, Blaj, Alba Iulia, Brad,
Tebea, Abrud, Câmpeni, Turda, Cluj, Bistrita, Careii Mari, Baia Mare ,
Oradea city. Throughout the journey, the queen wore the Romanian folk
costume.
 June 4, 1920: signed at Versailles, the Treaty of Trianon, which is
officially recognized union of Transylvania and Banat with Romania.
This document confirms for the first time officially the borders of Great
Romania.
 October 15, 1922: Another important moment in the life of Queen Mary
was when, at the Reunification Cathedral in Alba Iulia, the ceremony of
the crowning of the royal couple, Ferdinand and Maria, was the symbol
of the act of unification of all Romanian historical provinces under the
scepter of the same monarch.

7. THE ROLE OF QUEEN MARY AFTER THE UNION
Even after the great powers of the world were made and
recognized by the Great Union, Queen Mary continued to plead the
cause of Romania and promote the country's values beyond the
borders until she was removed from the political life of the country with
Carol taking over the throne II. He then retired to Balchik or to Bran
Castle, and spent the last days of his life at Pelişor Castle, where he
died on July 18.
"Why did I come here? Well, I was at the
Peace Conference in Paris after the
war, and they asked me this
question and I said, "Every country
needs a face. So when you gather
together for deliberations, I want
Romania to have a face. I am here
to be that face, to make Romania
something more personal than
statistics and maps. "" Queen Maria
said in autumn 1926 during a visit
to the United States.
