Professor Lucian Boia held a conference on the topic “Germanophile Romania – before and during World War 1” (România germanofilă – înaintea și în timpul Primului Război Mondial) on the 26th March at the UPT Conference Center. Around 300 people filled the seats of the Auditorium Amphitheater to listen to the renowned historian.

The event was part of the series dedicated to the centennial of the Great Union in 1918 and was organized by the Banat German Economic Club, Cultural Association Agora Unit and Politehnica University Timișoara.

During an authentic history lesson, Lucian Boia spoke about the creation of the Romanian state, starting with the “small Union” in 1859, which created a favorable context for the Great Union in 1918. In the same context, the historian highlighted the modernization of Romanian society which transitioned from the oriental type to the occidental type in the period between the small and the Great Union, initially using the French model and later the German one. The whole process was presented in the international context of the German cultural model’s rise in the detriment of the French model between mid-19th century and the first part of the 20th century. Lucian Boia has also presented the latest research on the causes that triggered World War 1, research that intensified all over Europe in the last decade.

At the end of the conference, professor Lucian Boia answered questions from the audience and signed autographs.
