  1. The Romanian Principalities in International Context, 1829-1848

  2. Wallachia • Treaty of Adrianopole (1829) recongized Wallachia and Moldova as a Russian protectorate, but under nominal (in name only) Ottoman rule. The treaty also abolished the Ottoman trade monopoly and opened up trade with the West • Russian involvement in the principalities was extensive, but under General PavelKiseleff, the principalities acquired their first constitution (The Organic Regulations). Furthermore, Kiseleff modernized Bucharest (and other cities) and established the foundation of a modern sanitary system

  3. The Status of Transylvania, Bukovina, and the Banat. • These provinces were part of the Habsburg (Austrian) empire. • Transylvania was an autonomous principality. The Banat was incorporated into Hungary. Bukovina was part of Galicia. • Although ethnic Romanians constituted the majority of the population in these provinces, they were deprived of political rights and representation, as compared to other nationalities. Orthodoxy was marginalized as a religion. • The struggle for Romanian national emancipation took the form of demands for equal rights with other nationalities, official recognition of the Orthodox Church, and the right to use Romanian in matters of state administration and in education.
