Transylvania is a small region in Romania, a Western European country, in between Hungary and The Black Sea. It has a notably interesting history. The main empires/countries that controlled Transylvania were (In this order) Kingdom of Dacia, Roman empire, Carpi, Goths, Visigoths, Huns, Gepids, Avars and Bulgers, Vlatchs, Hungarians, The Eastern Hungarian Kingdom, Ottomans, Habsburgs, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Hungarian army, and currently Romania. I couldn’t find any founders. In the beginning of the 1800s it was ruled by the Austrian empire, though they allowed Hungary to rule Transylvania. When Hungary got rebellious, they started ruling Transylvania themselves, and gave it back to Hungary in the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867. The Hungarians then tried Magyarization, a policy to try to make ethnic Un-hungarians act and seem Hungarian. As a result, the Transylvanian Memorandum, a petition that demanded equal rights on ethnically and an end to Magyarization, was written and sent to the Austrian emperor. That got them in lots more trouble. Predictably, Loyalism dramatically decreased.
