Moldova Independence Day’s History
Moldova is an Eastern European Country and was formerly part of the Soviet Republic. The country shares borders with Romania and Ukraine.
In February 1918, the Moldavian Democratic Republic integrated into Romania later that year following a vote of its assembly.
In 1940, as a consequence of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, Moldova became a part of the Soviet Union and led to the creation of the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic.
On August 27, 1991, as the dissolution of the Soviet Union was ongoing, the Moldavian SSR declared independence and took the name Moldova.
Moldova’s Independence was officially recognized on 2nd March 1992 when the country became a member of the United Nations.
