Historical regions in Romania and neighboring (modern Romania extends over several historical european regions inherited from medieval geography, which it shares, for some, with its neighbors. A nationalist ideology considers that a historical region cannot belong to several modern countries but must be framed within the current borders of an alone, thus subjecting history to current geography. The nationalists see here an irredentist map, because for them, the adjective “românești” can only mean “claimed by modern Romania” (when in reality it means "including Romanian populations"). For those who think that Romanians have no history before 1856, a traditional region cannot be a “common historical heritage” (e.g. Hungary and Romania sharing historical regions such as Banat or Körösvidék-Crișana). That's why they're try to remove this map wherever they can. These activist ideas are not specific to Romania: there are conributors who think that the Italians did not exist before the Risorgimento since it was the latter who created consciousness to be Italians, and that they therefore have no history before 1870.)
