Abstract
TRANSYLVANIAN ROMANIAN SOCIETY ’S LIFE DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR WAS NOT EASY. POPLATION WAS HARD HIT: THOSE WHO STAYED HOME, SOME OF THEM WERE LEFT WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT, AND THOSE WHO LEFT, HAD TO FACE THE HARSH REALITY OF WAR AND ITS FLAWS, FAR FROM HOME. YET THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ALONE IN THIS FIGHT, NOR THOSE FROM HOME, NOR THOSE FROM THE FRONT. A SIGNIFICANT HELP CAME FROM ROMANIAN BANKS, WHICH COULD NOT REMAIN INDIFFERENT TO PROBLEMS AROUND. THEY TRIED AS MUCH AS THEY COULD, TO MAKE LIFE EASIER, ESPECIALLY FOR THE ROMANIANS. CHARITY PERFORMED BY THEM WERE RECORDED IN THE PAGES OF PERIODICALS, MOSTLY OF THE SPECIALTY. ALL THAT BEEN SAID, CAN NOT DENY THE IMPORTANCE OF ROMANIAN BANKS GENEROSITY TO ROMANIANS IN TRANSYLVANIA, WITH DIFRENT PROBLEMS. THUS WE CAN SAY THAT IT W AS AN IMPORTANT ALLY OF SOCIETY IN THE PROBLEMS CAUSED BY WAR.
