University Microfilms 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 46106 a Xarox Education Company WALTERS, Everett Garrison 1944- ION C INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

Rosetti........................................ 292 iii INTRODUCTION In 1821 the territory of present day Romania was divided between three great empires. Bessarabia, on the Black Sea between the Fruth and the Dniester rivers, had been a part of Russia since l8l2. The Eanat, Bucovina, and Transylvania formed the eastern segment of the Austrian Empire. The bulk of Romanian territory and population, however, was concentrated in the Ottoman Empire. The principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia were conquered by the Ttirks in the fifteenth century, but, unlike other Ottoman provinces, they were ruled as autonomous protectorates. Home rule was effectively suspended between 1711 and 1821 when the princely thrones (and the upper aristocracy) were dominated by Greeks, but native rule was restored as a result of the Greek revolution and a subsequent Romanian revolt in 1821. The change to native princes did not bring true autonomy, since from 1828 until the Crimean War, Russia con­ trolled the political affairs of both Moldavia and Wallachia. The fundamental law of each country, the regulament organic, was decreed by the Russian governor, General Kiselev, in 1830. The rep;ulaments, in their social and economic aspects, were highly satisfactory to the boiars, the aristocratic landowning class of Romania. The fact that real political power lay outside of their respective states was a matter of indifference to most of them. Gradually, however, a group of dissidents began to demand more autonomy. The leaders of this movement associated themselves from the beginning with Romanian cultural nationalism, a new but increasingly important factor. The national movement was greatly strengthened by the fact that many of the dissidents sent their sons to the West, particu­ larly to France, for their education. Once abroad, the young men were strongly influenced by the radical nationalism which pervaded student circles, and they returned to their countries as prophets of change. The new political generation which was created by the western experience was enormously productive. As a result of its efforts, Romania was able to take part in the revolutionary upheavals of l8h8. Despite defeat, thiB action, combined with subsequent propaganda produced by the exiled leaders, brought the aspirations of the Romanians to the attention of Europe. Within ten years the Principalities were autonomous, within fifteen united and virtually independent. The purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis of the early career of one of the leaders of the generation of l8h8, Ion Constantin Bratianu. Bratianu was most prominent in the period after 1866, when his influence in Romania was analagouB to that of his contemporary, Bismarck, in Germany. Nevertheless, a study of the first, formative half of his career is essential to an under­ standing of the later years. Despite his importance, no serious work has ever been done on Ion Bratianu. The only full length biography (Constantin Rautu, Ion C. Bratianu CTurnu-Severin: Tipografia Ion N. Eojneagu, 19^0D) is uncritical, carelessly researched, and does not pretend to be a scholarly effort. Moreover, this hook is particularly veak with respect to the period 1821-1866. This paper, therefore, will attempt to describe the political growth and evolution of Ion Bratianu in those years. In so doing, the objective is to provide the foundation for a study of his entire career, as well as to show Bratianu’s relation to Romanian history and the nationalist movement of mid-nineteenth century Europe. CHAPTER I 1821- 181*8 Ion Constantin Bratianu was torn at the village of Bratieni in the province of Argeg in 1821. The Bratianu family vas a part of the tolar, or nolle landowning clasB, and thus the social condi­ tions to which he was born were much the same as those of the other leaders of the Romanian generation of 181*8. In fact, in a remark­ ably homogeneous group, Bratianu was set apart chiefly by his age— he was the youngest. Ion Bratianu's father, Constantin (DincS) doeB not appear to have taken port in the events surrounding the revolt of Tudor Vladimirescu in 1821, although his brother, Toma Bratianu, was actively involved on the side of the rebels, and was a leader in the attempt to revive the revolutionary movement in 1826.^ Dinca's lack of involvement was not symbolic of political passivity, however, as he played a leading role in the politics of his province until his death in 181*1*. He served first as chief of his local district, and then as ispravnic or governor of the province of Argeg. 1 The exact date of his birth is unknown, although most sources put it some time in June.

One of the main foreign Napoca, Romania policy issues, with important consequences and the territorial integrity of the Romanian Principalities and then was the status of the Danube. In the present paper I analyzed the Romanian foreign policy between 1878 and 1914. Keywords: Romanian Foreign Policy, International Relations, Security, Foreign Policy Introduction The first time the issue is considered Danube is the Treaty of Bucharest between Russia and Turkey, signed on May 28, 1812, which ended the Russo-Turkish war took place between 1806 and 1812. The Clashes of interest between the major European powers were put on the agenda the need to solve the problem of freedom of navigation on international rivers and its consecration in an international act. Used the occasion to ensuring this was the Peace Congress in Vienna, met after the first abdication of Napoleon. The Final Act 1815 states in Articles 108-118, fundamental principles of river. Under Article 109, navigation on international rivers was free for all states without distinction between riparian and non-riparian states; is accurate but that freedom of navigation applies only to commercial navigation, not for the war.

  • BRIEF HISTORY of the ROMANIAN PEOPLE Romania Has Its Unique Culture, Which Is the Product of Its Geography and of Its Distinct H
    BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ROMANIAN PEOPLE Romania has its unique culture, which is the product of its geography and of its distinct historical evolution. Like Romanians themselves, it is fundamentally defined as the meeting point of three regions: Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Balkans, but cannot be truly included in any of them. The Romanian identity formed on a substratum of mixed Roman and quite possibly Dacian elements, with many other influences. During late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, the major influences came from the Slavic peoples who migrated and settled in near Romania; from medieval Greeks, and the Byzantine Empire; from a long domination by the Ottoman Empire; from the Hungarians; and from the Germans living in Transylvania. Modern Romanian culture emerged and developed over roughly the last 250 years under a strong influence from Western culture, particularly French , and German culture. The Romanian literature began to truly evolve with the revolutions of 1848 and the union of the two Danubian Principalities in 1859. The Origin of the Romanians began to be discussed and in Transylvania and Romanian scholars began studying in France, Italy and Germany. The German philosophy and French culture were integrated into modern Romanian literature and a new elite of artists led to the appearance of some of the classics of the Romanian literature such as Mihai Eminescu, George Coşbuc, Ioan Slavici. Although they remain little known outside Romania, they are very appreciated within Romania for giving birth to a true Romanian literature by creating modern lyrics with inspiration from the old folklore tales. Of them, Eminescu is considered the most important and influential Romanian poet, and is still very much loved for his creations, and especially the poem Luceafărul – The Evening Star – the longest love poem in the world.

    Silvana Rachieru ISSN 0353-295X (Tisak) 1849-0344 (Online) UDK 94(560.118=135.1)“18“(091) Radovi - Zavod za hrvatsku povijest Izvorni znanstveni rad Vol. 51, br. 1, Zagreb 2019 Primljeno: 20. 11. 2019. Prihvaćeno: 21. 12. 2019. DOI: 10.17234/RadoviZHP.51.4 Between the King and the Sultan: the Romanian Colony in Constantinople at the End of the 19th Century The article focuses on certain results of a long-term research project which addresses a very specific aspect concerning Romanian-Ottoman relations after 1878: Romanian subjects, residents of the Ottoman Empire, perceived as a community under the pro- tection of the diplomatic and consular missions of Romania. The present contribution accords particular attention to the definition of this community and the legal status of the members of the colony registered with Romanian consulates in the imperial capital. A brief discussion of their ethno-religious profile and socio-economic char- acteristics is also included in the analysis. This is the first attempt to analyse several aspects concerning the Romanian multiethnic colony in Constantinople from different perspectives, such as occupations, nationality papers or the major problems which in- fluenced their status as foreign residents in the Ottoman Empire. The primary sources of data are the consular registers and correspondence between representatives of the Romanian state and the Ministry of the Foreign Affairs, with a special focus on the analysis of an unpublished volume of documents, no. 422, “Registration,” and dated 1867-1916, from the Romanian Diplomatic Archives, Constantinople fonds. Other alternative sources were also used, such as censuses, newspapers and memoirs, in order to reconstruct an image of the Romanian colony in Constantinople up to 1900.

  • Romania Redivivus
    alexander clapp ROMANIA REDIVIVUS nce the badlands of neoliberal Europe, Romania has become its bustling frontier. A post-communist mafia state that was cast to the bottom of the European heap by opinion- makers sixteen years ago is now billed as the success story Oof eu expansion.1 Its growth rate at nearly 6 per cent is the highest on the continent, albeit boosted by fiscal largesse.2 In Bucharest more politicians have been put in jail for corruption over the past decade than have been convicted in the rest of Eastern Europe put together. Romania causes Brussels and Berlin almost none of the headaches inflicted by the Visegrád Group—Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia— which in 1993 declined to accept Romania as a peer and collectively entered the European Union three years before it. Romanians con- sistently rank among the most Europhile people in the Union.3 An anti-eu party has never appeared on a Romanian ballot, much less in the parliament. Scattered political appeals to unsavoury interwar traditions—Legionnairism, Greater Romanianism—attract fewer voters than do far-right movements across most of Western Europe. The two million Magyars of Transylvania, one of Europe’s largest minorities, have become a model for inter-ethnic relations after a time when the park benches of Cluj were gilded in the Romanian tricolore to remind every- one where they were. Indeed, perhaps the aptest symbol of Romania’s place in Europe today is the man who sits in the Presidential Palace of Cotroceni in Bucharest. Klaus Iohannis—a former physics teacher at a high school in Sibiu, once Hermannstadt—is an ethnic German head- ing a state that, a generation ago, was shipping hundreds of thousands of its ‘Saxons’ ‘back’ to Bonn at 4,000–10,000 Deutschmarks a head.

    Alexandru Ioan Cuza Alexandru Ioan Cuza (sau Alexandru Ioan I; n. 20 martie 1820, Bârlad, Moldova, astăzi în România – d. 15 mai 1873, Heidelberg, Germania) a fost primul domnitor al Principatelor Unite și al statului na ț ional România. Elena Cuza Elena Cuza (n. 17 iunie 1825; d. 2 aprilie 1909), cunoscută și ca Elena Doamna, a fost so ț ia domnitorului Alexandru Ioan Cuza. S-a născut la Iaș i, în familia Rosetti și a murit la Piatra- Neamț , fiind înmormântată la Sole ș ti, Vaslui. Elena Cuza se înrudea cu neamul Sturdzeș tilor, al Bal ș ilor și al Cantacuzinilor. Judecând după portretul realizat de Szathmary, când avea 38 ani, putea fi socotită o femeie foarte mică și subț ire, cu o expresie severă, cu ochi negri și foarte timidă.

Dissertation Advisor: Catherine Evtuhov, Ph. D. ABSTRACT Based upon a reading of Ottoman, Russian, and Bulgarian archival documents, this dissertation examines the response by the Ottoman and Russian states to the accelerated pace of migration and spread of disease in the Black Sea region from the outbreak of the Russo-Ottoman War of 1768-1774 to the signing of the Treaty of Hünkar Iskelesi in 1833. Building upon introductory chapters on the Russian-Ottoman Black Sea frontier and a case study of Bulgarian population movements between the Russian and Ottoman Empires, this dissertation analyzes Russian and Ottoman migration and settlement policies, the spread of epidemic diseases (plague and cholera) in the Black Sea region, the construction of quarantines and the implementation of travel document regimes.

  • Names in Multi-Lingual, -Cultural and -Ethic Contact
    Oliviu Felecan, Romania 399 Romanian-Ukrainian Connections in the Anthroponymy of the Northwestern Part of Romania Oliviu Felecan Romania Abstract The first contacts between Romance speakers and the Slavic people took place between the 7th and the 11th centuries both to the North and to the South of the Danube. These contacts continued through the centuries till now. This paper approaches the Romanian – Ukrainian connection from the perspective of the contemporary names given in the Northwestern part of Romania. The linguistic contact is very significant in regions like Maramureş and Bukovina. We have chosen to study the Maramureş area, as its ethnic composition is a very appropriate starting point for our research. The unity or the coherence in the field of anthroponymy in any of the pilot localities may be the result of the multiculturalism that is typical for the Central European area, a phenomenon that is fairly reflected at the linguistic and onomastic level. Several languages are used simultaneously, and people sometimes mix words so that speakers of different ethnic origins can send a message and make themselves understood in a better way. At the same time, there are common first names (Adrian, Ana, Daniel, Florin, Gheorghe, Maria, Mihai, Ştefan) and others borrowed from English (Brian Ronald, Johny, Nicolas, Richard, Ray), Romance languages (Alessandro, Daniele, Anne, Marie, Carlos, Miguel, Joao), German (Adolf, Michaela), and other languages. *** The first contacts between the Romance natives and the Slavic people took place between the 7th and the 11th centuries both to the North and to the South of the Danube. As a result, some words from all the fields of onomasiology were borrowed, and the phonological system was changed, once the consonants h, j and z entered the language.
