The 18th century, in the history of Romanian principalities, is known as the Phanariot century, broadly speaking. However, that timespan does not exactly coincide with the early and the late 1700s proper; in Moldavia it begins in 1711 and in Wallachia, in 1714. For both principalities, the Phanariot age ended in 1821. We recall that back then Tudor Vladimirescu s revolution made it possible for the indigenous rulers to regain their thrones. During the Phanariot age, the Romanian Principalities were under the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire. The sultan controlled the principalities in the region through a bunch of Greek civil servants who hailed from Istanbul s Phanar district. They were the Phanariotes, the anointed ruling princes of Moldavia and Wallachia, for a limited period of time. The age was viewed and, quite aptly, still is, as an age of backwardness. The Romanian Principalities no longer were autonomous, they did not have their own currency and their own army.
