1856 CE

Russia's defeat in the Crimea forces the tsar to seek peace, affirmed in 1856 by the Treaty of Paris.

De jure Ottoman suzerainty over the principalities continues after the treaty, which abolishes the Russian protectorate and replaces it with a joint European guarantee.

The treaty also frees navigation on the Danube and forces Russia to cede part of southern Bessarabia, which includes control of the river's mouth, to Moldavia.
