The rhetoric of Romania’s independence in the throne messages of Carol I. From internal action to European argumentation

Summary/Abstract: During his reign, the sovereign and then king of Romania, Carol the First, in his throne messages, official addresses, in his discourses and letters, he makes often recourse, to the European Powers and their understanding with the hope in their support for Romania in what its European integration was concerned. He was stressing Romania’s role in the maintenance of the European balance through its politics in South-Eastern Europe. He was very disappointed when his requests were met with indifference, as in 1878, when Romania lost the South of Bessarabia in favour of Russia, through the European Powers, decision, as a consequence of a war in which Romania’s material, political and military effort was considerable.
