Romania History: Difference between revisions

}}  

Romania has had a history of invasions and migrations that have left their mark on the country and its inhabitants. Early peoples of Romania during the first millennium B.C. included Illyrians, Thracians, and Scythians. Greek colonies appeared on the shore of the Black Sea in the 7th century B.C. The Kingdom of Dacia flourished in the territory that is now Romania from the first century B.C. to the first century A.D. By 106 A.D. Dacia was conquered by the Roman armies and integrated into the Roman Empire. The Thracians and Illyrians were also subjugated by the Romans. Roman colonists joined the Thracian-Greek inhabitants and Rome developed the region, building roads and bridges. Latin, the language of the Romans, served as the linguistic base for modern Romanian. Under barbarian pressure, the Roman legions retreated from Dacia (modern Romania) in 271-275. The exception was the area known as Dobrogea, which is south of the Danube River. Dobrogea remained in the Byzantine Empire until the 13th century, when it was incorporated into Wallachia.  

Since 1991, Romania has enjoyed full religious freedom.<br>
