Romanian Principalities in 1600[edit | edit source]

This map shows the Romanian principalities when they were united under Mihail Viteazu in 1600. Two centuries later, the principalities were still surviving, surrounded in a sea of empires, who still desired the Romanian lands. The biggest change is that the Russian empire had replaced the Polish empire to the east. As of 1794, Poland no longer existed, itself being the victim of surrounding empires.

Union of Wallachia and Moldavia, 1859[edit | edit source]

The map below shows the union of Wallachia and Moldavia, which occured in 1859. This is the first time the name "Romania" was used for the area. The united principalities were christened the Kingdom of Romania in 1878 by King Carol I, when Romania was recognized as an independent country by the Congress of Berlin. Dobrogea was added to the kingdom at that time.
