Today’s Doodle celebrates Great Union Day, or Ziua Marii Uniri, in Romania! In 1918, Bessarabia, Bukovina, Transylvania, Banat, Crișana, and Maramureș unified with the Romanian Kingdom.

On December 1st, 1,228 elected officials, known as the Great National Assembly of Alba Iulia, gathered and voted unanimously for unification. On Great Union Day, massive celebrations in Bucharest, Alba Iulia, and other cities attract citizens for a day of pride and patriotism.

Grand parades, public ceremonies, and traditional performances are organized all over to commemorate the nation’s progress and history. The red, yellow, and blue national flag — each colour representing one of the three main provinces — waves high in the sky, just like in today’s artwork.
