Beginning in the late 1800s and lasting until the mid 1900s Romania's culture and arts acknowledged great French influences. Bucharest, the capital of Romania was known in the 1930s as "The Little Paris" or "The Paris of the East" and French was the second language in Romania.

Cronología de la historia de los sajones y suevos en Rumania
La evidencia documental muestra que los alemanes han estado presentes en el territorio de la actual Rumania durante más de ocho siglos; su número ha aumentado o disminuido según el contexto histórico y político.
Entre las dos guerras mundiales, casi 800.000 alemanes étnicos vivieron en la Gran Rumania. Sus representantes formaron su propia facción en el Parlamento rumano.
Los alemanes de Bucovina, Besarabia y Dobruja fueron "desplazados", y 63.000 alemanes de Rumania se alistaron en el ejército alemán sobre la base de un acuerdo entre Rumania y Alemania.
In the early years after World War II, Germans in Romania were collectively discriminated against, with most of them being expropriated. Until 1948, they had no political rights. In 1945, 75,000 Germans were deported to forced labor in the Soviet Union, from where most of those who survived did not return until 1949.
The desire to emigrate among the German population in Romania grew, especially after 1970, due to the fact that the Federal Republic of Germany created favorable conditions for the reception of Germans. In 1989, there were still about 200,000 Germans living in Romania, but by the 2002 census, their number had dropped to 60,000.
