Abstract

The history of the Principality of Transylvania was marked by great political unrest. The small region was coveted on one hand by the Turks and on the other hand by the Hapsburgs. The internal policy led by the princes of Ardeal contributed Transylvania to keeping pace with the evolved Occident. Through its participation in the War of 30 Years, the small principality asserted itself as a power that should be taken into consideration at the demarcation between Central and South-Eastern Europe.
