Years: 1864 - 1875

Ion Bratianu, the leader of Romania's Liberals, with the tacit support of Napoleon III, nominates Prince Charles of southern Germany's Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen family as the new prince.

Over objections from the other European powers, the Romanians elect the twenty-seven-year-old prince, who, disguised as a salesman, travels through Austria by second-class rail and steamboat to accept the throne.
