Between the Xth and the XIIIth, Orthodox principalities were created. Until the XVIIth century, regions of Moldavia and Valachia were dominated by the Turkish before been controlled by the Greek for the Ottoman Empire. This Greek control enabled occidental cultures, especially French, to enter the country. Thanks to Napoleon IIIrd and the treaty of Paris in 1856, Moldavia and Valchia could choose a Romanian prince: Alexander Cuza that unified the country, choose Bucarest as the capital city. He abdicated in 1866 in favor of Carol de Hohenzollern.
