Romanian Crisis (Failed Revolutions)

The Romanian Crisis, was an International Crisis over the Status of Romania as the Kingdom of Romania under Queen Sophia called for Independence from the Austrian Empire promoting the Great Powers of the World to meet in Bucharest in order to resolve the dispute.

Since 1817 after the Great Turkish War, the Kingdom of Romania had become an Austrian Puppet State. Under Austrian Rule, Romania did enjoy a period of relative peace with the nation being shielded from any future conflicts but as the Food Shortages began sometime in the Late 1840s the Nation descended into Chaos. After the 1850 Peasants Revolt, the Romanian Government decided to seek independence from the Austrians believing that Independence would improve their situation , thus leading to the Conference of Bucharest.
