  My family elder was governing MOST of the Basarabian territory EXACTLY when the 1940 events happened.<br>His name was Grigore Cazacliu - lawyer, interwar politician.<br><br>Here are some passages from his memoir in regard to the ultimatum note:<br><br><br>“Everyone was asking me in horror whether the news was true or not. Since I had received no word from the government, I categorically denied this information, which had caused widespread panic, and calm was largely restored.”<br><br>“I told the Minister of the Interior that if he asks me to be shot—I will do so; but I, Grigore Cazacliu, who have fought all my life, along with all my relatives, against the Russians, and especially against the communists—I cannot be the one to surrender Bessarabia and have be pointed at and told that their father surrendered Bessarabia. The Minister of Interior understood my plight [...] I crossed the Prut River with the firm conviction that soon I would return to the lands of my ancestors.”<br><br>He left his home and office behind, not before burning all the papers he could, that could be of use to the Soviet regime.

  Thank you for this informative video. &nbsp;As a Finn I can see the parallel between Finland and Romania in WW2. Both nations were victims of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and therefore first attacked by the USSR and later allied with Germany. They would have loved &nbsp;peace and neutrality during 1939-1945.

  Romania was not &quot;asked&quot; it was being told what to do by the USSSR (enemy) and Nazi Germany (protector).

  Carol II wasn&apos;t wrong in what he did, but he&apos;s to blame for letting the situation get so out of hand. He had been a complacent ruler most of his reign and did little to modernize the military or prepare for such events like the many territorial demands from neighboring nation. He should have either abdicated sooner or taken his job seriously.

  As a Romanian, thanks for the history lesson. For those who don&apos;t know, Knowledgia is also Romanian.

  This is very personal for me I&apos;m a descendent of Bessarabian Germans and my great grandparents and grandmother had to leave Bessarabia and head to Germany after that event. I do think that Moldova does have the right of return to Romania if they want to.
