Negotiating with Napoleon: Ion I. C. Brătianu's 1815 Treaty of Vienna Feint
Om avsnittet
In 1815, as the Congress of Vienna redrew Europe's map, Wallachia's boyars — led by the formidable Ion I. C. Brătianu — attempted a diplomatic gambit: offering the crown to Napoleon's brother in a bid to escape Ottoman suzerainty. This episode explores the shadowy 'Treaty of Vienna Feint', the role of the Polish exile General Karol Kniaziewicz, the secret correspondence with Napoleon's camp, and how the Great Powers' indifference crushed Romania's first modern independence bid. We examine Brătianu's exile, the boyar factions of Bucharest, and the lasting impact on Romanian national identity.
