This is an old map of when Transylvania was a part of the Austrian Empire. I would argue to yesterday's email that this is not something that Austria would want as a part of their country if it was small or insignificant. By the way the grey part is the Austrian Empire, and the part with Transylvania is situated inside that, on the right.
Why would Transylvania be so important to Romania otherwise?
It borders what was Romania and had many people of Romanian origin who lived there. Some like the Saxons, had history dating back to the 11th Century. ( I would suggest longer, but the numbers, in written form are not there. the earliest census was in 1241.)

This is the land that holds so much beauty and life... it is important. it is a part of many people's lives, they grew up there or have roots in the land. They know how powerful this land is to them, and to others.
My Question for today is this: Can you find Transylvania using this map?
