| | History |
 | | In Moldavia, on January 5-17, 1859, and in Wallachia, on January 24-February 5, 1859, the Romanians elected Alexandru Ioan Cuza as unique prince, achieving thus de facto, the union of the two principalities. |
 | | Together with Mihail Kogalniceanu, his closest counsellor and co-worker, Alexandru Ioan Cuza initiated a programme of reforms to further update the structures of the Romanian society and state. |
 | | After the abdication of Alexandru Ioan Cuza in 1866, Carol of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen was appointed ruling prince of Romania on May 10, 1866, as a result of a plebiscite. |
