Where did the legend of Dracula start?
Vlad III Dracula of Wallachia (also known as Vlad the Impaler and Vlad Țepeș) was the namesake basis of the character Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula.
"Count Dracula" was from Transylvania.
The name comes from Vlad the Impaler, prince of Wallachia (now part of Romania). In modern Romanian, it means "son of the devil" but in Vlad's time it meant "son of the dragon." Vlad is something of a national hero in Romania for preventing the expansion of the Ottoman Empire but he was (and is) notorious for the cruelty of the punishments he meted out -- his favorite method being impalement.
Bram Stoker borrowed the name for his famous vampire novel, "Dracula," but there is no evidence that the historic Dracula ever drank blood. Stoker toured Romania while gathering material for his novel and heard of Vlad in his travels. However, he demoted his character to the rank of count. The real-life Dracula was a prince.

Romania does not have an official motto nowadays. Its anthem is "Desteapta-te Romane" (Awaken, Romanian). The last motto it had was from when it was a Kingdom. This is "Nihil Sine Deo" (Nothing Without God), which is still the motto of the Romanian Royal Family. We don't have an official, standardized motto. Major institutions (such as the army) have their own motto.
The motto of the royal family is Nihil sine Deo (Latin for "nothing without God").
Why did the Romans invade Romania?
Portugal did not exist in antiquity. The Romans did not actually conquer this area. The Lusitanians were a people who lived in most of present day Portugal, the Spanish region of Extremadura and a small part of the province of Salamanca. They fought a war (the Lusitanian War) from 155 B.C. to 139 B.C. against the Romans who had taken over southern Spain from the Carthaginians. This was a rebellion, but its exact reasons were not clarified by ancient writers. They were defeated. After this the Lusitanians continued to fight the Romans. However, there was a gradual process of Romanisation. The area was assimilated, rather than conquered.
Why did Romania switch sides to Britain in World War 2?
In WW2, Romania tried to be a bit... on its own side. Romania was a monarchy, with a teenager king of German origin. A small rich country, full of oil and natural resources, a valuable stop for the German army marching on its way to Soviet Union. When the war started, USSR was neutral and all the countries around Romania had a Nazi/fascist regime and territorial claims. So, what Romania tried, being isolated, was to protect its borders. It played a neutral game, with a Pro Germany flavour, in order to get in peace with the German troops. In the meanwhile it tried to help - Polish heritage artifacts were saved, via Romania and Jews have been less hunted than in other places. Many gypsies have been saved from the Death trains. On 23rd of August 1944, Romania "turned the guns" against Germans and followed the Red Army on its way to Berlin. After war, Romania was treated like a "enemy" country, it lost territory and its Heritage (fine art, gold, historical artifact's, etc) and they entered in a dark age.
Why did Romania join war world 1?
Romania wanted Transylvania (from Austria-Hungary) - and got it at the end of the war.
Are romanians desendents of the roman empire?
Italians, Romanians, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Rhaeto-Romanic, etc.
---Also note that most or all those people mentioned above are not 100% "Roman".
France, for example was inhabited by Celts called Gauls by the Romans, who did very much stay after Augustus conquered the area, some Romans then of course migrated there.
With the decline of the Roman Empire in Western Europe, a third people entered the picture: the Franks, a Germanic tribe conquered much of modern France.. So "French" people are basically Gallo-Roman-Franks. Not Romans.
There are much more nationalities that have settled in France, such as Greeks in ancient times at the French Riviera, the Goths who originated in Sweden, the Normans of Normandy who came from Scandinavia, and in the 20th century about 20% of people living in France had at least one parent or grandparent that was foreign, so you simply cannot say that French people are "Roman".
In Spain, Celtic Iberians lived alongside Romans in Imperial times, and Arab invaders settled later. Romanians are largely descendants of Romanized Slavs, Roman colonists, and Hungarian, Tartar, Bulgar and Celtic invaders or settlers.
So most of those people mentioned above are only partly or slightly Roman.
Latin, that is.
Also, to add to the list above the "---" here are some countries that might have a handful of Roman Descendants: Britain, Greece, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, French Canada and basically anywhere that Rome, or any of the Latin-European countries have colonized or Immigrated to. Please do correct me if I am wrong.
The history of the Romanian people is a history of wars; XXth: Balkanic War, World War I, World War II.
