Country Info Home Introduction General Data Maps ... Time and Date Moldova : History Moldova's Latin origins can be traced to the time of Roman occupation of nearby Dacia,ca. A.D. 105-270, when a culture was formed from the intermingling of Roman colonists and the local population. After the Roman Empire and its determine waned and its troops left the region in A.D. 271, a number of groups passed through the area, often violently: Huns, Ostrogoths, and Antes. The Bulgarian Empire, the Magyars, the Pechenegs, and the Golden Horde (Mongols) also held sway temporarily. In the 13th century, Hungary expanded into the area and accomplished a line of fortifications in Moldova near the Siretul River and beyond. The region came under Hungarian suzerainty until an independent Moldovan principality was accomplished by Prince Bogdan in 1349. Originally called Bogdania, the principality stretched from the Carpathian Mountains to the Nistru River and was later renamed Moldova, after the Moldova River in present-day Romania. In 1792 the Treaty of Iasi forced the Ottoman Empire to cede all of its holdings in what is now Transnistria to the Russian Empire. An expanded Bessarabia was annexed by, and incorporated into, the Russian Empire following the Russo-Turkish War of 1806- 12 according to the terms of the Treaty of Bucharest of 1812. Moldovan territory west of the Prut River was united with Walachia. And in the same year, Alexandru Ioan Cuza was elected prince of Walachia and the part of Moldova that lay west of the Prut River, laying the foundations of modern Romania. These two regions were united in 1861.

The Republic of Moldova: An Historical Background Survey by Dr. Vasile Nedelciuc English text read by Bev Forsyth, Stanford University, USA The territory of the Republic of Moldova before 1991 never formed a unique and distinct political entity as it does today. Its history is perhaps one of the most complicated components of European history and, because of the inter-relationship with the history of other territories populated by Romanians, this history can only be described in an entirely context, except for the period after the Second World War.

Only for a narrow strip of land in the extreme northwest can Bessarabia be entered without crossing water. But these natural boundaries of the country were not, like mountains or deserts, barriers as well; they invited, rather than discouraged, invasion. The history of the republic of Moldova is the history of two different regions that have been joined into one country, but not into one nation: Bessarabia and Transnistria. Moldova's location has made it a historic passageway between Asia and southern Europe, as well as the victim of frequent warfare. Greeks, Romans, Huns, and Bulgars invaded the area, which in the 13th century became part of the Mongol empire. An independent Moldovan state emerged briefly in the 14th century under celebrated leader Stefan the Great but subsequently fell under Ottoman Turkish rule in the 16th century. To a great extent, Moldova's history has been shaped by the foreigners who came to stay and by those who merely passed through, including Greek colonists, invading Turks and Tatars, officials of the Russian Empire, German and Bulgarian colonists, communist apparatchiks from the Soviet Union, soldiers from Nazi Germany, Romanian conationalists, and twentieth-century Russian and Ukrainian immigrants. Each group has left its own legacy, sometimes cultural and sometimes political, and often unwelcome.

you are here home Europe Moldova History Moldova, History For most of its history, the majority of the territory that constitutes present-day Moldova was the region of Bessarabia, the eastern half of the historic principality of Moldavia. The name Bessarabia derives from a medieval prince, Basarab I, who at one time ruled the southern part of the region. The principality of Moldavia encompassed Bessarabia but extended west to the Siret River near the Carpathian Mountains. From north to south it stretched from the region of Bukovina to the Black Sea. Along with the principality of Walachia to the southwest, Moldavia was one of two principal regions inhabited by Romanian-speaking peoples (sometimes known as Vlachs). In 1599 Michael the Brave, a Walachian prince, led a revolt against the Ottomans and united Moldavia, Walachia, and Transylvania (a third principality where Romanian speakers lived). However, following Michael�s assassination in 1601, the previous divisions reappeared, with the Ottomans regaining control of Moldavia and Walachia and Hungary taking Transylvania. The differentiation between the eastern and western parts of Moldavia, with the eastern half often identified as Bessarabia, began around this time. Russia annexed the region of Bessarabia after the Russo-Turkish War of 1806-1812 as part of the Treaty of Bucharest, leaving a greatly reduced Moldavia still under Ottoman domination. The Ottomans gradually relinquished control of Moldavia to Russia as well. With Russia�s defeat in the Crimean War (1853-1856), Moldavia and southern Bessarabia gained independence from the Ottoman Empire and Russia, and the two regions joined again. Moldavia united with independent Walachia in 1859, when assemblies of both principalities elected a single leader, Alexandru Ion Cuza, as their prince. The united principalities assumed the name Romania in 1862.

It is historically part of a greater Moldavia, the main part of which was an independent principality in the 14th cent. and came under Ottoman Turkish rule in the 16th cent. It became a highly fortified Turkish border region and was a frequent target in Russo-Turkish wars. East Moldavia passed to Russia in 1791. Russia acquired further Moldavian territory in 1793 and especially in 1812, when the Russians received all of Bessarabia (the name for the area of Moldavia between the Prut and Dniester rivers). The rest of Moldavia remained with the Turks and later passed to Romania, which seized Bessarabia in 1918. In 1924, the USSR, refusing to sanction the seizure, established the Moldavian ASSR in Ukraine, with Balta and then (1929) Tiraspol as the capital. Romania was forced to cede Bessarabia to the USSR in 1940. The predominantly Ukrainian districts in the south and around Khotin in the north were incorporated into Ukraine, as were parts of the Moldavian ASSR; the rest was merged with what remained of the Moldavian ASSR and made a constituent republic (the Moldavian SSR). Taken by Romania in 1941, the republic was reconquered by the USSR in 1944. In June, 1990, the Moldavian SSR adopted a measure calling for greater sovereignty within the USSR. In Aug., 1991, Moldova, which is the Romanian name of the region, was declared an independent republic; Mircea Snegur was elected president, and it reluctantly joined the Russian-dominated

Contact Us Moldova History Moldovan history started when it was part of a the larger region of Moldavia, but has spent most of its history in the grasp of the Former Soviet Union or Romania as it lies between these two countries. Due to its unsettled history it has been renamed, overrun, split up, conquered and taken over many times over. To get where Moldova is today has been a very rocky ride to say the least. Moldovans descend from what were the Dacians who were conquered by the Romans round about 100 AD. Between 1941 and 1944 the area was yet again reoccupied by the Romanian forces and thousands of Bessarabians Jews were sent to Auschwitz. In 1944 the Romanian forces failed to keep a grip of the country and yet again it was the Soviet Union who took control and tried to impose unnatural order on the people. With the collapse of communism in the 1980s the Moldovan Popular Front finally got a chance to air their views. Several years of consultation and reform followed and in 1989 the Latin alphabet was reinstated as the official written language, In 1990 the moldovan flag was instated and the declaration of Moldovan sovereignty was passed. Finally the big moment came, in 1991 Moldova was declared an independent republic and communist Mircea Snegur was its first democratically elected president.

Romania, which gained independence in 1878, took control of Russian-ruled Bessarabia in 1918. The Soviet Union never recognized the action and created an autonomous Moldavian republic on the east side of the Dniester River in 1924. In 1940, Romania was forced to cede Bessarabia to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.), which established the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic by merging the autonomous republic east of the Dniester and the annexed Bessarabian portion. Stalin also stripped the three southern counties along the Black Sea coast from Moldova and incorporated them in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Romania sought to regain Bessarabia by joining with Germany in the 1941 attack on the Soviet Union. On June 22, 1941, German and Romanian troops crossed the border and deportations of the Jews from Bessarabia began immediately. By September 1941, most of the Jews of Bessarabia and Bukovina had been transported in convoys and force marched to concentration camps in Transnistria. About 185,000 Jews were in the Transnistria area in concentration camps by 1942 in abysmal conditions. Very few were left alive in these camps when the Soviets reoccupied Bessarabia in 1944.

For the first time Moldova is mentioned as a state in historical sources in 1359. At that time voevod (thus were called the rulers of the country at the time) Bogdan and Moldovan ancestors, called vlachs, settled at Eastern Subcarpathia. In 1365 he gained recognition for Moldova as an independent state with the capital called Siret. At the beginning of 16th century Moldova became Turkish vassal. Moldova had to pay tribute and Moldovan gospodars (the name of Moldovan rulers at this period) were appointed by Turkey. During 16th-17th centuries there had changed almost 50 gospodars. At 1646 there was published the first law book which had power until the middle of 18th century when according to Treaty of Kucuk-Kaynarca Russia got patronage over Moldova. After Russian-Turkish war 1787-1791 Moldova became a part of Russia. Bessarabia got special legal status. In 1873 Bessarabian region got status of government. �Stream of migrants� flooded this part of the country. Agriculture became the main branch. Industry was developing very slowly. In 1917 there was established Sfatul Tsarii (council of the country) and it declared about autonomy of Moldavia. On 2nd December 1917 Council declared Bessarabia to be Moldovan Democratic Republic and on 28th January 1918 it claimed about its independency. At that time after agreement with the Council Romanian military forces entered Bessarabia. However Russia sent Red Army forces to this territory. So, Moldovan lands were divided between Romania and Russia. On 26th and 27th June 1940 the USSR sent to Romanian Government claim to return Moldovan lands. On 28th June Romania marched the troops from Moldovan lands.

About Moldova Main Page About Moldova History Climate Holidays Language People Economy Food Traditions Geography Why Moldova Learn Romanian Resources Traditional Moldovan Food is delicious. It’s based on meat, fish, vegetables, cereals, and cheese. Centuries ago, the traditional food was influenced by Greek (when the Greeks used to have colonies near Nistru, Danube river and the Black sea) and Turkish cuisines. The food later incorporated elements from Russian, Ukrainian, Gagauzian, and Bulgarian cuisines. When you are in Moldova, don’t miss the maize served with fried meat, sour cream and Moldovan cheese called brinza , which is made of sheep milk. Usually brinza is salty, but not always. Moldovans love it. You may also want to try sarmale which is made of rice, meat and vegetables rolled in cabbage leaves. Another traditional and very popular dish, made especially during the holidays, is Placinte , which are pies usually stuffed with cheese (brinza), potatoes, cabbage or apples. Moldovans cook a lot of meat: chicken, pork, beef, lamb, duck, goose. The meat is fried, baked, or grilled. You may also try the meatballs.
