Romania's independence was the masterpiece of all the Romanian people from the free side of Romania and also from the Romanian provinces occupied by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the Russians. The people prepared it with patience and perseverance. Finally, they took their fate in their own hands, their right to be free. A lot of innocent people died, but their death was for a great cause. People had to bear all the material and moral hardships of the war. They understood that they had to do great sacrificies, proving this way their patriotism. Romania's land has been invaded during the centuries by the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, Germany and Russia, but the Romanians never gave up, they fought to defend their land and rights. The Romanians are proud of their ancestors, they want to live and die on the place they belong to.
