=== Principality of Romania  (1859–1881) ===
'''Cuza'''<nowiki/>'s rule was marked by a strong commitment to modernization and reform. He implemented a series of political, economic, and social reforms aimed at improving the lives of the Romanian people and strengthening the new state.

One of his earliest acts as ruler was the '''abolition of serfdom''' and the liberation of the Romanian peasantry. He also introduced a '''modern legal system''' and reformed the educational system by establishing the '''University of Bucharest''' and creating a network of primary and secondary schools.

In addition to his domestic reforms, '''Cuza''' also sought to strengthen '''Romania's''' position on the international stage. He pursued a policy of neutrality in the face of mounting pressure from the '''Ottoman Empire''' and '''[[Russian Federation|Russia]]''', both of which still had significant influence in the region. He also sought to establish closer ties with other European powers, such as '''France''' and '''Great Britain'''.

Despite his efforts to modernize and reform Romania, '''Cuza's''' rule was also marked by political turmoil and opposition from conservative forces in the country. In 1864, he attempted to further consolidate his power by dissolving the country's two separate assemblies and replacing them with a single national assembly. This move was met with widespread opposition, and a series of protests and uprisings erupted across the country.

In 1866, a group of politicians and army officers staged a coup and forced '''Cuza''' to abdicate.
