The Forgotten Romanian Emperor: John IĂînescu’s Failed Dream
Om avsnittet
In 1859, a Romanian-born general named John IĂînescu nearly became emperor of a vast Eurasian empire. This episode traces his rise from Wallachia to the Ottoman court, his military campaigns in the Balkans and Central Asia, and his audacious bid to create a Romanian-led empire stretching from the Danube to the Himalayas. We explore his alliance with the British, his conflict with the Russians, and the reasons his dream crumbled. Featuring the little-known “Empire of the Danube,” the 1859 Treaty of Paris, and the intrigues of the Great Game.
