PERCEPTION OF THE ROMANIAN-OTTOMAN RELATIONSHIPS IN THE ROMANIAN HISTORY TEXTBOOKS
Abstract :
The Romanian history evolved under the influence of the Ottoman Empire for a long period. Wallachia and Moldavia were under the domination of the Ottoman Empire for about four centuries and a half, and Transylvania for one century and a half. This strongly influenced the historical evolution of the Romanian people. The whole history of the Romanian people in the mediaeval period was a continuous fight for defending autonomy and obtaining national independence. The continuous fight of the Romanian princes permanently made the status of the Romanian countries become a special one. The Romanian Countries were never changed into a pashalac. This fact was reflected in the history textbooks and in the Romanian mentality.
