What do you know of Romanian history?

Did you know it specifically omits large chunks of history just so it can suit a specific romantic nationalist rhethoric, and is all basically one fat lie?
>>
>>496456
Wow, so Romanian history is like literally all national historical narratives?
>>
>>496461

Name one other country (aside balkan countries) that romanticizes the fuck out of it's own history in order to pursue a nationalist rhethoric.

>specific romantic nationalist rhethoric

Most countries do this, Romania is not the only culprit.

So as an apparently butthurt moldovan what's your take on it ?

>>496468

What country omits the fact that it has been created not out of the will of the people, or anyone within the same culture, but because of geopolitical interests?

>>496481
Why butthurt? I just like history. The real history.
>>
>>496488
> created not out of the will of the people

Most countries weren't created out of will of the people, but out of will of the elites, often foreign ones.

>>496466
Scandinavians with the Viking history for example, until rather recently.

Germany was created out of the will of the people. The spring of peoples in the little germanic states prior to the union itself is proof for that.

Nor Belgium nor the US pursues an ethnic nationalist rhethoric, because they are inhabited by more than one ethnicity.

For example both the French and the Germans claim that Charlemagne was theirs, even though he was neither. That's a pretty common tactic of nationalism slanting history.

>Name one other country that romanticizes the fuck out of it's own history in order to pursue a nationalist rhethoric.

I.e The countries that do it now.

>>496508
Sure, they want to claim legacy, i'd say it's pretty average for countries to do that.

But Romania doesn't. The tactic of romanian historians is to either fake or omit many plotholes in their own theories

For example, in order to prove that present day Romania was always inhabited by romanians during a span of 1000 years, they claim the Bolokhoveni, brodnici and berladnici as of romanian ethnicity, when they were infact slavic tribes. Why? Because if they assume that present day Moldova was never, or barely inhabited by romanians, they lose all historical claims to it, defacto.

So in order to legitimize it's clay, they fabricate early medieval history.

I know that Moldovan language actually doesn't exist because it's a dialect of Romanian, and I know that as much as Russia vehemently denies countries' like Ukraine or Belarus existence, they do exactly the same to prove Moldova is its own thing.

I stopped reading after those, but they were later transplanted by germanic tribes and other european a bit right? Or did some Dacians survive and they repopulated?
>>

Dacians didn't survive as half of them were absorbed either by romans or later the slavs.

The ancestors of the moldovans are the dacians, while the ancestors of the romanians, are the romans.

Nah, the empire couldn't just retreat from it's territories just like that and lose face infront of it's own citizens.

So Aurelian made a clever move before abandoning Dacia. He create two more regions named "Dacia" south of the danube and told the people they're just going to resettle to another place in Dacia!

This is where the ethnogenesis of the romanian people began, while that of the moldovan people began somewhere in the carpathian moutains

Even if most states don't resort to outright (conscious) lying, I don't think there's a single state that's official (let's take the stuff they generally teach in schools) take on history doesn't make itself appear in a romantic, biased positive light (well, aside from Germans with their guilt I guess). Generally the younger the state is as a sovereign entity and the more being kicked around by someone stronger there is, the more they tend to make shit up to make up for their butthurt over no real muh heritage. Hungary for example mainly 'only' regards itself from a ridiculously biased perspective (well that often encompasses lying and denial etc. but not as ridiculously as it tends to be in these parts). However, our neighbouring states, having gained independence only in the past century, (mainly Slovakia and Romania) straight up declare Hungarian noblemen as 'Slovakian Kings', make up stories about their origins etc.

Not that I want to start some nationalistic shitflinging contest. I think it's retarded on both sides.

The modern english people and the state they live in are indeed results of a number of cultures who migrated on the british isles. They don't deny that. They speak the truth.

>>498104

As an example for outright faking history, is the romanians claiming the 1859 "union" was the joint collaboration of Wallachia and Moldova to form a common romanian state. This is outright false, because like i said, they ignore a huge chunk of history, which is the fact that moldovans did not want the union, they resented it and the only reason why it did happen was because France wanted a buffer state against Russia's expansionism in the balkans. And the fact that in the first rounds of elections concerning the problem of union, most moldovans voted "No". This of course cause massive butthurt towards the unionists at the time, so they cried to France and to England for another round, which after foreign intervention, they won, magically. Then in 1866 there was a moldovan revolt against Romania, them wanting to secede, but this shit is literally not taught in schools. Because if they do, Romania loses all historical rights to Moldova and will be in danger to disintegrate.


This is what i'm talking about when i say faking or ignoring history to suit a nationalistic narrative.
>>
>>498163
This is some moon hoax grade shit.
>>
Both Romania and Moldova are non-countries.
>>
>>498184

What? It's known that the events happened since they are recorded, but they are ignored and not released to children in schools because it's against the narrative the state wants to teach children, and instead raise them "patriotic". Shit, even the cultural pillars of the romanian culture which everyone in Romania learns today, were mostly anti-unionists, but you don't hear them talk about it.

Another aspect is ignoring the fact that moldovans never associated themselves with romanians, as far back as the 17th century. They called their language moldovan and their identity moldovan. But again, absolutely no word about this in schools, because it's dangerous to the narrative.

northen transylvania was mosly romanian
western capathians were almost exclusively romanian
southern parts had large german population with a lot of romanians too
center was both romanians and hungarians
east was mostly szekler and hungarian

but the situation is far more complicated, in some cases towns with a mainly hungarian population were surrounded by villages with romanian population etc.

Transylvania had existed for centuries and its creation was also based on geographical factors

in 1940 it was indeed split but that just caused ethnic tensions and didn't help on the long run

Well I might be wrong but I recall being on a class trip in Slovakia somewhere and finding a statue of Csák Máté (Matúš Čák Trenčiansky) the plaquette of which nominated him as a Slovakian king ( IIRC it said he was rebelling against the Hungarian yoke but that might be my overimagination). And I'm almost sure I have experienced the same stuff in Romaina as well. I guess if there's a statue it must be somewhat officially recognised, but I may be wrong about the whole thing.

>>498083

The way Hungarian history is being taught and interpreted in many places accross the country pretty much makes us appear as the ultimate victims of history, impeccable gentlemen of unquestionable merit who have fallen prey to the vilest conspiracies the entirety of the rest of the world cooked up. The government uses a similar rhetoric, but seriously, look into the Orbán system if you don't know what I'm talking about. The truth is that much of what this nation has sufferred was a result of its own idiocy. Even in the face of imminent invasions my countrymen used to be pulling each other's hair over who's going to be king etc. There's a funny saying that the presence of two Hungarians immediately results in at least three politicial factions. But for an exact example, a national monument has been erected in the middle of Budapest that basically nullifies Hungarian responsibility in the Holocaust. See for yourself.

Not the person you originally replied to but genetically Hungarians are a mix of every nation we had dealings with, mainly Germans, Slavs and Turks. No one looks vaguely Asian any more. And I'd be surprised if more than 5% of the country knew what the fuck Kurultáj was. It's far from a national holiday, besides, I think it's biannual. I'd actually love to see something like this once, but the problem is that this sort of stuff is hardly ever frequented by someone who doesn't vote and preach far-right bullshit. Besides, the historical accuracy Hungarian 'traditionalists' usually manage to come up with is near zero.

That's eastern European mentality for you. At least your monarchy was hereditary. In Moldova it was hereditary selective, so we ended up with shit tones of rulers for short periods of time (4 years, 2 years, sometimes months or even weeks) which gave the countries around us reason to meddle with our affairs by pushing their own candidate to the throne in order to control the country. Of course this translated badly to the overall stability of the country. Which is why it was such a backwarded shithole at the start of the industrial revolution

Gyorgy Dozsa was popular with communists in romania, even the romanian ones and they used a romanian version of his name Gheorghe Doja, but he was always presented as a szekelyi who fought the noblemen
