Brediceanu was born in Lugoj, the son of the soap maker Vasile Brediceanu, and the nephew of George Brediceanu, [3] a banished boyar from Austrian Oltenia who settled in Banat. He studied at Beiuș High School and then attended the University of Budapest, where in 1874, he obtained his lawyer's diploma. After graduation, he returned to Lugoj where he lived to the end of his life. In Lugoj, he opened a law firm and soon became well known for how he defended the peasantry in trials that the majority of lawyers refused to take. Another fact was that Brediceanu did not take honorariums from the poor persons. In 1896, he defended the peasants from Mehadia or miners from Ciclova Montant in the trials initiated by Hungarian authorities. It was also confirmed, that Brediceanu defended intellectuals, such as writers and journalists sued by the Hungarian authorities for the criticism and favoritism to Romanian side. As for the politic side, Brediceanu was highly involved in defending the rights of Romanians, and in 1894, in Cluj, along with the other 30 lawyers, he defended the Transylvanian Memorandum of the Romanian National Party Central Committee, [3] of which he has also been a member.

The Banat Republic was a short-lived state proclaimed in Timișoara in November 1918, days after the dissolution of Austria-Hungary. The Republic claimed as its own the multi-ethnic territory of the Banat, in a bid to prevent its partition among competing nationalisms. Openly endorsed by the local communities of Hungarians, Swabians and Jews, the German-speaking socialist Otto Roth served as its nominal leader. This project was openly rejected from within by communities of Romanians and Serbs, who were centered in the eastern and western halves of the region, respectively. The short-lived entity was recognized only by the neighboring Hungarian Republic, with which it sought a merger. Its military structures were inherited from the Common Army, and placed under the command of a Hungarian officer, Albert Bartha.

Andrei Mocioni de Foen was an Austrian and Hungarian jurist, politician, and informal leader of the ethnic Romanian community, one of the founding members of the Romanian Academy. Of a mixed Aromanian and Albanian background, raised as a Greek Orthodox, he belonged to the Mocioni family, which had been elevated to Hungarian nobility. He was brought up at his family estate in the Banat, at Foeni, where he joined the administrative apparatus, and identified as a Romanian since at least the 1830s. He rose to prominence during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848: he was a supporter of the House of Lorraine, trying to obtain increased autonomy for Banat Romanians in exchange for loyalism. The Austrians appointed Mocioni to an executive position over that region, but curbed his expectations by including the Banat as a whole into the Voivodeship of Serbia. This disappointment pushed Mocioni to renounce politics during much of the 1850s.
