Abstract

The economic relations between Romanians and Germans at the end of XIV century until the middle of the sixteenth century, for over a century and a half had, in large part, other characteristics than in the previous period or the one that followed. If at the end of the XIV century Saxon economic relations were more intense with Romanian Country, favored by the reigns of Sigismund and Mircea stable at the beginning of the fifteenth century Saxon trade is going to the same extent and for Moldova's Alexandru cel Bun. The economic relations between Romanians and Germans were often hampered by the Ottoman military campaigns. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, the Ottoman offensive decades characterized by intensification and the collapse of the Hungarian feudal economic relations occurred secondary stagnation of all kinds of prohibitions. In relation to its external Principality of Transylvania which lasted a century and a half, has evolved between the two great powers engaged in southeastern Europe. In this era Roman Saxon relations have continuatsa manifest on several levels. In the second half of the sixteenth century economic relations between Romanians and Germans were determined largely by internal unrest in Transylvania. At the end of the autonomous principality historical stage was reached in inequality lots of land and wealth, and ultimately, social and ethnic contradictions worsening, which then manifested fully in the eighteenth century AustroHungarian pact concluded in 1867 between the Austrian and Hungarian ruling classes, has historical roots earlier than the act of 1867, which are searchable from the early decades of the establishment of Habsburg rule in Transylvania and can be pursued systematically ever since 1867, with a permanent tendency of political compromise Hungarian and Austrian ruling circles of the Habsburg monarchy. The period of forty-eighter Revolution and World War Transylvania was one of transition for what I look at Saxon, they became a nation with a range preserved since the time of colonization, an ethnic minority. Period up to World War I was the Saxon community in Transylvania, one of the major changes, especially in politics, but have not left unaffected areas of economics or social.
