Geocache Description:


[RO]

Alexandru Ioan Cuza (sau Alexandru Ioan I; n. 20 martie 1820, Bârlad, Moldova – d. 15 mai 1873, Heidelberg, Germania) a fost primul domnitor al Principatelor Unite și al statului național România. Prin alegerea sa ca domn al Moldovei, la 5 ianuarie 1859, și al Țării Românești, la 24 ianuarie 1859, a fost înfăptuită Unirea celor două principate.

Ales domnitor, Cuza a dus o susținută activitate politică și diplomatică pentru recunoașterea Unirii Moldovei și Țării Românești de către Puterea suzerană (Imperiul Otoman) și Puterile Garante și apoi pentru desăvârșirea Unirii Principatelor Române prin înfăptuirea unității constituționale și administrative. Aceasta s-a realizat în ianuarie 1862, când Moldova și Țara Românească au format statul român unitar modern, adoptând oficial numele de România, cu capitala la București, cu o singură adunare și un singur guvern.

În anul 1866, o largă coaliție a partidelor vremii, cunoscută sub denumirea de Monstruoasa Coaliție din cauza orientărilor politice diferite ale membrilor săi, l-au forțat pe Alexandru Ioan Cuza să abdice.

[EN]

Alexandru Ioan Cuza (Alexandru Ioan I, also anglicised as Alexander John Cuza; 20 March 1820 – 15 May 1873) was the first domnitor (Ruler) of the Romanian Principalities through his double election as prince of Moldavia on 5 January 1859 and prince of Wallachia on 24 January 1859, which resulted in the unification of both states. He was a prominent figure of the Revolution of 1848 in Moldavia. Following his double election, he initiated a series of reforms that contributed to the modernization of Romanian society and of state structures.

As ruler of the Romanian Principalities, he supported a political and diplomatic activity for the recognition of the union of Moldavia and Wallachia by the suzerain Ottoman Empire and achieved constitutional and administrative unity between Moldavia and Wallachia in 1862, when the Romanian Principalities officially adopted the name Romanian United Principalities with a single capital at Bucharest, a single national assembly and a single government.

Alexandru's reform policies alienated a large coalition of conservatives and radical liberals, for the most part landowners and business owners. On 22 February 1866, he was forced to abdicate and leave the country. Today, he is often considered one of the founders of the modern Romanian state and a national hero of Romania.
