Romania - Galati

Date: 1881

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Romania's history, as Carol I, the first King of Romania (1866-1881 and 1881-1914), stands triumphantly alongside Russian Tsar Alexander II during the signing of the surrender of the Ottoman Empire forces in Galati, Romania, in 1881. The Russo-Turkish War, which raged from 1877 to 1878, saw Romania fighting on the Russian side. The Treaty of Berlin, which followed the war, recognized Romania as an independent state, marking the end of Ottoman rule in the region. In this image, Osman Nuri Pasha, the Ottoman commander, formally surrenders to Tsar Alexander II, with King Carol I looking on. The scene is a testament to the alliance between Russia and Romania during this period, and the culmination of Romania's long struggle for independence. The photograph, with its rich historical significance, offers a glimpse into the political and military dynamics of the late 19th century in Europe.
