On this date in 1866, Romania officially became Romania!
The "unification" was two principalities, Moldavia and Wallachia, joining together to form Romania.
Even though the event Unification Day celebrates happened more than a century ago, the holiday is pretty new, having started in 2015.
Romania's "National Day" is called Great Union Day - it's December 1 each year - and it is when Romania got a bit larger as Transylvania, Bessarabia, and Bukovina united with Moldavia and Wallachia under the Romanian banner.
