Romanian Diplomacy within the System of International Relations in the Context of the Year 1866

Abstract

The year 1866 would represent a challenge for Romanian diplomacy, as the dethronement of Al. I. Cuza, the great powers would be led to discuss the rescinding of the 1859 act and, implicitly, the return to the political regime which would have caused the two principalities serious damage to their autonomy, both on an internal level, as well as external and it would be met with opposition from the great powers, as the young Romanian national state would meet its major objectives, thus creating a favorable international context in order to acquire state independence.
