Still every once and a while, people do get mixed up with Transylvania and History. It is not an area where people simply appeared on the scene and then staked a claim, it is a dynamic area. There are places with a lot of people who lived there, in one but in comparison it was a small area.
In Transylvania, there were culturally many Romanians, and Hungarians, but there were also Jews and Germans (known as Saxons) who would build cities and towns. There were also the Roma and other smaller groups of people who lived in Transylvania. Some would remain a small minority but others, such as the Hungarians has sizable populations in many areas.

This would alter how people viewed the power dynamic in the area which were now under Romanian control. A good example was the Hungarians and the Saxons. They had anticipated negative change or no change at all. In many cases both were correct. The Black Chuch in Brasov is a Lutheran Church and after the end of the War, this didn't change.

Until 1919, Transylvania was a part of the Kingdom Hungary, and after the Great War became a part of Romania.

Transylvania and how people view its history seem to be where the most debate comes into play.
The dates when and where big countries took control, who had power, who should have power. The point that is missed is that most tourist or people who love Transylvania miss is the history of people in the area.
Sorry to say no there are no vampires and no Dracula as what Bram Stoker wrote... maybe we could find them in London, where he based parts of the castle on. Big or small (in traffic terms) it is important to know the history of this place.
