Danubian Principalities
Danubian Principalities
(, ) was a conventional name given to the
Principalities
of
Moldavia
and
Wallachia
, which emerged in the early 14th century. The term was coined in the
Habsburg Monarchy
after the
Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca
(1774) in order to designate an area on the lower
Danube
with a common
geopolitical
situation. The term was largely used then by foreign political circles and public opinion until the union of the two Principalities (1859). Alongside
Transylvania
, the
United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia
became the basis for the
Kingdom of Romania
, and by extension the modern
Romanian
nation-state
.
