 AllRefer.com - Romania - Petru Groza's Premiership | Romanian Information Resource
In May 1945, Romania and the Soviet Union signed a long-term economic agreement that provided for the creation of joint-stock companies, or Sovroms, through which the Soviet Union controlled Romania's major sources of income, including the oil and uranium industries.
Romania, like the other East European countries under Soviet domination, refused to participate in the Marshall Plan for the economic reconstruction of Europe, complaining that it would constitute interference in internal affairs.
The treaty bound Romania to honor human and political rights, including freedom of speech, worship, and assembly, but from the first, the Romanian government treated these commitments as dead letters.

 The Nationalism Project: Book Review of The Moldovans
Appropriately, a considerable portion of the book is dedicated both to “failed” nation-building attempts in Moldova, and the curious failure of Moldovans to unite with Romania in the 1990s while still placing themselves with a broad Romanian identity.
This was the first in a series of handovers; returned after the Crimean War in 1856, re-annexed by Russia in 1878, unified as part of “Greater Romania” in 1918, annexed by the Soviet Union in 1940, then independent in 1991.
King suggests that on the one hand, the state elites of Moldova had little inclination to hand over power to Romania; while in Romania, the near-universal agreement that Moldovans were Romanians and that unification was preferable but not urgent prevented it from becoming a “wedge issue” that extremists might use to rise to power (166-167).

Such a case is the life of King Charles I of Romania (1839 - 1914), descendant of the noble Hohenzollerns of Sigmaringen, Germany, his birthplace being quite close to that of the Danube River in the Black Forest.
Young Prince Charles was later to become ruler of a country whose southern border was the same river that had cradled his boyhood.
Along his venerable 47-year-long reign, King Charles I brilliantly honored his office and the Danube played an important role in both his emotional ties and his practical purposes.
