Romania ranks third in a statistic of human losses in the First World War. Many people have forgotten this today. Although historians are much more attentive to the atrocities on the western front, and on the Romanian front there are truly shocking images.
Nearly 250.000 soldiers and 430.000 civilians died during the war, with a deficit of over 400.000 new-borns between 1916-1919. This leads to a total deficit of 14% compared to the pre-war population. This deficit is exceeded only by Serbia (and Montenegro) with 31.3% and by Russia with 18.5% (the number of casualties Russia sustained in the First World War cannot be distinguished from those of the civil war). Here are some of them.
This Great War brought back onto the European Maps older countries or new ones: Poland, Czecho – Slovakia, Finland, Yugoslavia and its followers of today…
These people are our family, our forefathers, who sacrificed their lives for us to have a united country today, our holly land Romania. We shall never forget all of them. We have kept our given word and signatures to the Russian, French and British allies, and we attacked in 1916 the Austro-Hungarian, German, Bulgarian-Turkish corpus of armies, on a 1600 km long front line and we have kept them busy for two years in the Carpathians. In return, the Entente remembered our courage and enormous sacrifice, beyond words, at the Peace Conference in Paris after WW1. Our heroes, dead or alive made this possible. Lord, help Romania get past everything! For Ion, my great grandfather, from Buciumeni, Dâmbovița, who fought on the Romanian Front during the the First World War and survived.
Groaznic!
Cinste lor! Eroii nu mor niciodată!
Asa e, CINSTE LOR!
Dumnezeu să-i ierte!
Asta e razboiul…nimic bun..
Exact
Fara cuvinte…, doar lacrimi. Si altii-si bat joc de tara asta cat de mult pot!
Ar trebui expuse in parlament ! Expozitie permanenta…
