The active campaign for union of Wallachia…
1856 CE
The active campaign for union of Wallachia and Moldavia begins in 1856.
The movement has the support of France, because many Romanian revolutionaries had taken refuge there after 1848 and lobbied Napoleon III to press for unification; Austria, Britain, and the Ottomans, however, oppose the unification effort, while Russia opts to let the Romanians decide.
