Wallachian Revolution of 1848
The
Wallachian Revolution of 1848
was a
Romanian
liberal
and
nationalist
uprising in the
Principality of Wallachia
. Part of the
Revolutions of 1848
, and closely connected with the
unsuccessful revolt
in the
Principality of Moldavia
, it sought to overturn the administration imposed by
Imperial Russian
authorities under the
Regulamentul Organic
regime, and, through many of its leaders, demanded the abolition of
boyar
privilege. Led by a group of young
intellectuals
and officers in the Wallachian Militia, the movement succeeded in toppling the ruling
Prince
Gheorghe Bibescu
, whom it replaced with a Provisional Government and a
Regency
, and in passing a series of major
progressive
reforms, first announced in the
Proclamation of Islaz
