1684 CE to 1827 CE
The empire, having suppressed an eight-year rebellion of Hungarian nobles and serfs, consolidates its hold on Transylvania in 1711, and within several decades the Uniate Church proves a seminal force in the rise of Romanian nationalism.
Uniate clergymen have influence in Vienna; and Uniate priests schooled in Rome and Vienna acquaint the Romanians with Western ideas, write histories tracing their Daco-Roman origins, adapt the Latin alphabet to the Romanian language, and publish Romanian grammars and prayer books.
The Uniate Church's seat at Blaj, in southern Transylvania, becomes a center of Romanian culture.
