Have there been any significant events that happened in Romania?
The earliest written evidence of people living in the territory of the present-day Romania comes from Herodotus in book IV of his Histories written 440 BCE. Herein he writes that the tribal confederation of the Getae were defeated by the Persian Emperor Darius the Great during his campaign against the Scythians.In either 271 or 275, the Roman army and administration left Dacia, which was invaded by the Goths.In the Middle Ages, Romanians lived in three distinct principalities: Wallachia (Romanian: Ţara Românească-"Romanian Land"), Moldavia (Romanian: Moldova) andTransylvania.By 1541, the entire Balkan peninsula and most of Hungary became Ottoman provinces. In contrast, Moldavia, Wallachia, and Transylvania(Transilvania), came under Ottoman suzerainty, but conserved fully internal autonomy and, until the 18th century, some external independence.In a 1866 coup d'état, Cuza was exiled and replaced by Prince Karl of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, who became known as Prince Carol of Romania.The new state, squeezed between the great powers of the Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and Russian empires, looked to the West, particularly France, for its cultural, educational, military and administrative models. In 1916 Romania entered World War I on the Entente side, after the Entente agreed to recognize Romanian rights over Transylvania, which was part of Austria-Hungary until that time.The Romanian expression România Mare (literal translation "Great Romania", but more commonly rendered "Greater Romania") generally refers to the Romanian state in the interwar period, and by extension, to the territory Romania covered at the time.During the Second World War, Romania tried again to remain neutral, but on June 28, 1940, it received a Soviet ultimatum with an implied threat of invasion in the event of non-compliance.In 1947, King Michael I was forced by the Communists to abdicate and leave the country, Romania was proclaimed a republic[70][71] , and remained under direct military and economic control of the USSR until the late 1950s.The Romanian Revolution of 1989 resulted in more than 1,000 deaths in Timişoara and Bucharest, and brought about the fall of Ceauşescu and the end of the Communist regime in Romania. After a weeklong state of unrest in Timişoara, a mass rally summoned in Bucharest in support of Ceauşescu on December 21, 1989 turned hostile. The Ceauşescu couple, fleeing Bucharest by helicopter, ended up in the custody of the army. After being tried and convicted by a kangaroo court for genocide and other crimes, they were executed on December 25, 1989. The events of this revolution remain to this day a matter of debate, with many conflicting theories as to the motivations and even actions of some of the main players.

How do the different cultures in Romania get along?
Very hard question, i guess it depends on everybody's perception. Lots of discrimination here against gypsies and people from Hungary that live in Romania. Most romanians dislike the gypsy people (or "rromi") because gypsies are generally poorer and less educated and commit a large number of criminal acts. people abroad see all romanian as thieves and criminals because of what gypsies do so now there is a lot of hatred in Romania between these 2 groups. In Transylvania (west part of Romania) a lot of hungarians live with romanian people in the same towns and villages. In this part of the country everything is written in 2 languages and most hungarians don't speak or refuse to speak romanian (even in shops, restaurants, etc). Hungarians want to take a part of Romania and make it their own because they are a majority in some areas and therefor a lot of animosity exists between Romanians and Hungarians it that part.
