Abstract:

 The north of the Danube became an important target for the Ottoman State as of the end of the XIVth century, and Moldavia and Wallachia, the historical voivodeships of Romania, were first subjected to tribute as a result of the campaigns organized, and then were taken under the rule of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror. Moldavia and Wallachia which were held for more than four centuries, were positioned as autonomous structures under the central administration with a method different from the general understanding of administration in the Balkans. However, from the XVIIIth century onwards, both administrative failures and wars with Russia significantly weakened Ottoman control over these principalities. In addition to these, with the influence of the pro-unity political movements rising from the principalities, in the second half of the XIXth century, first the Danubian principalities were united under a single administration, and then an independent Romanian state was established. In the aforementioned study, the enthronement process of German Prince Carol, who ensured the unification of the Moldavia and Wallachia principalities and who would become the first king of independent Romania in the future, is discussed in the context of the news in the Ottoman press.

 Tunanın kuzeyi XIV. Yüzyılın sonlarından itibaren Osmanlı Devleti için önemli bir hedef haline gelmiş ve Romanyanın tarihî voyvodalıkları olan Eflak ve Boğdan düzenlenen seferler neticesinde önce haraca bağlanmış, Fatih Sultan Mehmed zamanında ise kesin olarak hâkimiyet altına alınmıştır. Dört asırdan uzun bir süre elde tutulan Eflak ve Boğdan, Balkanlardaki genel idare anlayışından farklı bir metotla merkezî idareye bağlı otonom yapılar olarak konumlandırılmıştır. Ancak XVIII. Yüzyıldan itibaren gerek idarede yaşanan aksaklıklar ve gerekse Rusya ile yaşanan savaşlar bu beylikler üzerindeki Osmanlı hâkimiyetini önemli derecede zayıflatan gelişmeler olmuştur. Bunlara ilaveten beyliklerden yükselen birlik yanlısı politik hareketlerin de etkisiyle XIX. Yüzyılın ikinci yarısında ilk önce Tuna prenslikleri tek bir idare altında birleşmiş, sonrasında da bağımsız Rumen devleti tesis edilmiştir. Söz konusu çalışma Eflak ve Boğdan beyliklerinin kesin bir şekilde birleşmesini sağlayan ve ileride bağımsız Romanyanın ilk kralı unvanını kazanacak olan Alman Prensi Carolun ülkenin başına geçiş sürecini Osmanlı basınında yer alan haberler ekseninde ele almaktadır.
