The history of Moldova can be traced to the 1350s, when the Principality of Moldavia, the medieval precursor of modern Moldova and Romania, was founded. The principality was a vassal of the Ottoman Empire from 1538 until the 19th century.
Early history. Moldova. Bessarabia —the name often given to the region of historical Moldavia between the Dniester and Prut rivers—has a long and stormy history. Part of Scythia in the 1st millennium bce, Bessarabia later came marginally under the control of the Roman Empire as part of Dacia.
An initially independent and later autonomous state, it existed from the 14th century to 1859, when it united with Wallachia ( Țara Românească) as the basis of the modern Romanian state; at various times, Moldavia included the regions of Bessarabia (with the Budjak ), all of Bukovina and Hertsa.
The founding of the kingdom of Romania (1881) formed a centre of attraction for Moldavian nationalism, but no lively movement developed in Bessarabia until after the Russian Revolution of 1905. The movement’s strength was drawn not from the boyars (largely Russified) but from schoolteachers and parish priests.
In 1859, when Romania (basically Wallachia) obtained nominal independence from the Ottoman empire, Russia occupied Bessarabia, and claimed Moldova. In 1878, during the Congress of Berlin Romania ceded Moldova to Russia in exchange for access to the Black Sea (the northern Dobruja region).
