It joined the Allied Powers in World War I and acquired new territories, including the most popular Transylvania after the conflict. In 1940, Romania allied with the Axis powers and participated in the 1941 German invasion of the USSR. Three years later, overrun by the Soviets, Romania signed an armistice. The post-war Soviet occupation led to the formation of a Communist "people's republic" in 1947 and the abdication of the king. (Romania, CIA Factbook, 2011)

Romania is a somewhat popular country located in Eastern Europe. I chose this specific country because I feel that sometimes it is over shadowed. Romania is always a place that I hear about but I never really got the chance to learn about what the country had to offer. I thought that it would be interesting to fully explore the country. So this wiki page will give you the opportunity to learn about Romania!
