The 19th-Century Romanian History: The War of Independence and its Context as a Case of Resistance and Rupture

Journal Title: Studia Universitatis Petru Maior. Series Historia - Year 2016, Vol 16, Issue

Abstract

The separation of the Romanians from the Ottoman Empire was achieved in time, during a continuous fight of resistance on several coordinates: economic, social, political and cultural – all of these being closely connected to one another and favoring the rupture towards the Ottoman Empire and the resistance of the Romanians along time. The resistance and the rupture were expressed through a genuine disobedience of the Romanians towards the Ottoman Empire – this was a period when they took every opportunity to gradually get detached from the Sublime Porte and avoid any of its influences in the Romanian realm. The present article intends to analyse the war of independence as a climax of resistance and disobedience as marks of the rupture of the Romanians in front of the Ottoman Empire, a force that was considered to be oppressive for many peoples during that age
