To speak and write about the Romanian-American relations means to decipher the struggle of both peoples to rise from the ranks on the stage of History. The Romanians, at the crossroads of several empires, fought for state survival, while the Americans fought to assert their independence from another imperial yoke, but better positioned geographically. Geography was generous for both peoples – Romania enjoyed a strategic position of civilization confluence, whereas the United States was a territory between two oceans from which the future American nation could project its civilizational model.

Foreword by Ambassador George Cristian Maior The Romanian-American relations have long been at the center of various research studies pertaining to multiple disciplines.
