According with the romanian sources and official PoV, the union of Transylvania, eastern Banat, Crisana, Maramures with the "Romanian old kingdom" began December 1, 1918 when the Romanian national Council, supportend by the romanian army and the french mission Berthelot, took over the administration of this territories, parallel to the Hungarian administration of the Oszkár Jászi government. According with the hungarian sources and official PoV, the Romanian rule of these territories began June 4, 1920 (treaty of Trianon).
The Hungarian-Romanian border was in fact drawn in the summer of 1919 by the International "Lord" Commission, where historiens and geographers as Robert Seton-Watson (british) and Emmanuel de Martonne (french) played an important role. So, the "greater Romania" goes de facto from 1918 to 1940 and de jure from 1920 to 1947, between the treaties of Trianon and Paris.
As ameded November 22, 2022, this map show the Treaty of Trianon as beginning of "greater Romania", according with the hungarian PoV (who says: «Romania's current western border only exists since 1920. Before the relocation of the de jure border from the Carpathians, Transylvania was only de facto under Romanian rule. The same was with Budapest and half of current Hungary»). On the contrary, the map gives the year 1940 as the end of the "greater Romania", and not the Treaty of Paris (1947) how logical it would be if we adopt the peace Treaties as de jure dates. If we adopt the de facto dates, so 1940 for the end, we must also restore 1918 for the beginning. --2A01:CB1C:821F:A400:3872:1A13:57EE:9341 19:55, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
