may 9, 1877 - Romania independent from the Ottoman Empire

Description:

On this day, Romania formally declared independence from the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire at this point was letting its European vassals declare independence without much of a fight, as it focused on strengthening the heart of the empire instead. Romania has seen quite a few territorial disputes and involvements in regional wars. However, except for a brief occupation by the Soviet Union following World War II, Romania has maintained its sovereignty.
