“O scurta istorie a romanilor povestita celor tineri” by Neagu Djuvara. I’m referring to the 10CD’s available for purchase. There you can find the “What, When, Who & Why of RO!”

Here is some: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Romania .
But basically it goes like this: this used to be the Dacian kingdom, until Romans came over and kicked some a*s.
The conquest of Dacia is the base of Romanian.
Next came the dark ages. All sorts of tribes came, raided and left. This includes goths, huns, gepids, bulgarians, magyars, cumans, tatars and others.
Until 1599 the country was split in 3: Transylvania, Moldavia, Walachia. In 1599 Mihai The Brave united the 3 in one, for a brief period of time – 1 year.
It was not until the 18th century that Romania had reunited. That was done under Alexandru Ioan Cuza, one of our most praised figures. However it was only in 1918 the Union was completely finished.
The first and second world war added and taken out territories of Romania leaving it with today’s territories.
After that came communism…
