Kingdom of Romania

From 1859 to 1877, Romania evolved from a "personal union" of two vassal principalities (Moldavia and Wallachia) under a single prince to a full-fledged independent kingdom with a Hohenzollern monarchy. In 1918, at the end of World War I, Transylvania, and Eastern Moldavia (Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina) united with the Kingdom of Romania, resulting in a "Greater Romania". In 1940, at the beginning of World War II, Northern Transylvania, Basarabia and Cadrilater were ceded to Hungary, Soviet Union and Bulgaria respectively, only Northern Transylvania being recovered after the WW II ended. In 1947 the Monarchy was replaced by a Communist Regime.
