The Unification of the Romanian Principalities Day, Ziua Unirii Principatelor Române, celebrates the union of Moldavia and Wallachia under a single ruler, Alexandru Ioan Cuza, in 1859. It is sometimes called the Little Union, in contrast to the Great Union of 1918, when Transylvania, Bessarabia and Bukovina joined Romania. The day is a milestone in the creation of the modern Romanian state. Cuza's reforms, including land reform and a modern education law, are also remembered on the day.
Celebrations include the Hora Unirii, a circle dance performed in Iași, Bucharest and other cities, with officials, soldiers and ordinary citizens joining hands, along with official ceremonies, wreath-laying and concerts. Iași, the historical capital of Moldavia, hosts some of the largest events, and Union Square in Bucharest is a main site in the capital. The dance symbolises unity and is widely shown on Romanian television. Romania and Moldova both commemorate the day.
