Romania and the United States of America share some history which is similar in many respects. Both states have struggled to gain their independence, their sovereignty, and historical recognition. That in which they have followed a different path was pertaining to the civilization pattern in which each of the two states was established.This study is dedicated to the Romanian-American relations since their very beginning until the Great Unification. We have analyzed the factors which have drawn closer the two countries separated by a large distance, the precise distance between the two capital-cities, Bucharest and Washington D.C. being 7,977.6 kilometers. We need to add that this study is the early stage of some broader and more complex research.
