Romania
Romania is a country in Eastern Europe bordering Ukraine to the north and east, Hungary to the west, Serbia to the southwest, Bulgaria to the south, Moldova to the east, and the Black Sea to the southeast.
History[edit | edit source]
During the 15th century, the region of Wallachia, situated in modern-day southern Romania, was ruled by the Voivode Vlad Tepes, who was secretly a member of the Templar Order. The Wallachian noble Vali cel Tradat joined the Assassin Brotherhood, but lost faith in their cause and defected to the Templars after the Ottoman Assassins killed Vlad in 1476, allowing the Ottoman Empire to march into Wallachia and turn it into a vassal state.[1]
After the end of the Crimean War in 1856, both Wallachia and Moldavia were granted independence from the Ottomans and united into a single kingdom, Romania.[2] Transylvania would later join this union at the end of World War I in 1918, laying the foundations of the modern country.[3]
