Romania interbelica in jurnalele de stiri British Pathé

British Pathé este una dintre cele mai vechi companii de media din lume. Isi are inceputurile in Parisul anilor 1890, cand Charles Pathé era unul din pionierii filmului.

Stabilita la Londra la inceputul secolului XX, dupa primul razboi mondial compania va produce jurnale de actualitati care se difuzau in cinematografe.

Materialele de mai jos au ca subiect Romania interbelica, destul de putin tratata in afara subiectelor legate de agenda casei regale.

10 Mai - Ziua Regelui

Data de 10 Mai marcheaza juramantul principelui Carol de Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen catre tara in anul 1866, ceremonia de incoronare a acestuia ca regele Carol I in anul 1881, dar si declaratia de independenta a Romaniei fata de Imperiul Otoman (1877).

Pana la abdicarea fortata a Regelui Mihai din 1947, ziua de 10 Mai - Ziua Regelui a fost sarbatoarea noastra nationala.
