[AXA0032]

Good heavens gentleman you are both on the same side and yet you are continually misunderstanding and offending one another. Please see to it to reconcile you are both allies!!!

[shlomofeuerwerk]

She was a mensch.

[Chamberien]

Wow! Great footage! What a personality and what a woman!! God Save the Queen!!

[shavedfeettv]

She also got you back Tranyslvania and Bukovina at the treaty of Versailles almost single handedly. She adored her country and was a great patriot.

[filipiliescu]

Probably she had a great good influence over King Ferdinand but Transilvania, Bucovina and Bassarabia UNITED with Romania in 1918. Probably she made a good diplomatic work for this fact to be accepted by western powers. NOBODY GAVE LAND TO ROMANIANS FOR NOTHING.

[shavedfeettv]

They were offered the throne by Roumanians who didnt want a native Aristocrat to take the throne as it would upset the power balance. By offering it to an established royal family it also gave the country international standing.

[rightmoment]

And my God, what a fantastic bargain Romania got! Carol I was a truly impressive man. He built the modern Romanian state, took a backward former Turkish province and made it the most successful state in the Balkans. The present King Michael is truly one of the great men of 20th century European history. What is actually sad - as well as miserable and third rate, is the current Romanian republic - created on the orders of Stalin in 1947.

[filipiliescu]

I am afraid you are malicious. I do not know why people like you express their "suppositions" without knowing even the things ALL people know. Queen Marry or Romania was the wife of Ferdinand I, the nephew of Carol I. Carol continued the work of other romanian patriots and rulers like Alexandru Ioan Cuza and he gained leading THE ROMANIAN ARMY his country independance.

[rightmoment]

And I'm afraid that you are rather stupid and didn't read or understand my message before responding. I am a great admirer of both King Carol I, the great architect of the modern nation state of Romania, and of King Michael who fought so bravely against fascism and communism to protect Romania's freedom and independence.

[filipiliescu]

Look, I am very interested about history of Romania and I know a lot about it. I am also a royalist in a personal and philosophycal way. In your comments described my country very bad and I stand to defend it. About king Michael, you cannot describe him as a fascism ir communism fighter, it is not enough and not entirely true...or false.

[filipiliescu]

You sound like us, romanians, did not deserved such a queen...and our country is "miserable and third rate"...Why? Romania is not a country created by Stalin in 1947. It is today what is left after Stalin took Basarabia(Rep.Moldova) in 1940.

[rightmoment]

Again your failure to read and properly understand my message has led you to send a very silly and foolish response.

I did not call Romanians 'miserable and third rate' - but rather the Romanian republic created on the orders of Stalin - against the wishes of the Romanian people - an act which symbolised the destruction not only of the monarchy but of the independence and freedom it represented.

I never suggested that Romanians did not deserve Queen Marie - that is in your imagination.

[filipiliescu]

My contry IS NOT a republic created by Stalin. Stalin imposed communism, forced Michael I to abdicate, destroyed(killed and deported) political, cultural and social elite. Occupied Romania for 12 years but he didnt create Romania like he created one of his "soviet countries"

[rightmoment]

Im afraid, once again you have missed the point(s) - largely because, I suspect, you are not reading or responding in your first language. There is a fundamental difference between the concept of the Romanian Republic (created on order of Stalin in 1947) and the Romanian nation.

[filipiliescu]

Maybe you mean something else... What do you mean when you say "Romanian Republic"? Territory? Form of government? Form of state? And what is fundamental difference between the concept of the Romanian Republic and the Romanian nation?

[Sailormoon1313]

@filipiliescu Amin...Traiasca Romania!

[filipiliescu]

This is stupid! From where you people take out this shit? It was a plan made by a group of patriots starting from 1848 revolution. This incluted the Unification of Romanian Country(Valachia) and Moldavia, electing a leader from a royal family, gaining independance from Othoman empire. The first prince proposed was Filip of Flandra but he refused (or he was refused by Napoleon III). Carol I Hohenzolern had the guts to accept, despite death threats...

[rapy00]

even if she didn't had any romanian blood she loved her country the royal family respected the romanians, GOD bless her

under the rule of the royal family we were on the right way until hitler and the communist came

[chatnoir999]

@rapy00

Excuse me??? Under the rule of that parasite, while she was toasted and cheered by ignorant idiots on her visit to the U.S. in 1926 back at home in Romania workers, fighting for better than sub-human working conditions and wages, were brutalized, imprisoned, tortured and murdered.

[rapy00]

@chatnoir999

At that time 80% of the population was made out of peasants and the agriculture was and mostly is made even today with medieval tools, so clearly the life was not easy. About the working conditions...well this is how the glorious capitalism worked and still works today except the ”imprisoned and murdered” but it seems that slowly we are getting back to that too.

The royal family was more important in external affairs and diplomacy.

[MlleAnetka]

I believe Queen Marie of Romania was the prettiest granddaughter of Queen Victoria and the prettiest princess in Europe in the early 1900s.

[mihaela3e]

Queen Maria was the daughter of the first Duke of Edinburg and of the Grand-Duchess Maria Feodorovna of Russia, and a granddaughter of Queen Victoria.

[zombicreature]

lol she had money in 1926 to visit america but me in 2007 i cant go more then 300 km with the money i have

[Acig81]

She was a great woman. She loved Romania and Romanians. God save the Queen :)

[KingNordy]

[LiviuFloreaRo]

She was a member of the house of Edinburgh and a niece of Quen Victoria.
