2. Ion Constantin Bratianu ( June
2 1821 – May 16 1891 ) was
one of the major political
figures on 19th Century Romania

3. Born to wealthy Argeș landowners in Pitești, the state of Wallachia, he
entered the Wallachian Army in 1838, and in 1841 started studying
in Paris.
Returning to his native land, Brătianu took part, with his friend C. A.
Rosetti and other young politicians (including his brother), in the 1848
Wallachian Revolution, and acted as prefect of police in the provisional
government formed in that year.

4. The restoration of Imperial Russian and Ottoman authority shortly
afterwards drove him into exile.
He took refuge to Paris, and endeavoured to influence French opinion
in favor of the proposed union and autonomy of the
Romanian Danubian Principalities.
In 1854, however, he was sentenced to a fine and three months'
imprisonment for sedition, and later confined in a lunatic asylum; in
1856, he returned to Wallachia with his brother - afterwards one of his
foremost political opponents.

5. He was in favor of the Danubian Principalities' (Wallachia's and Moldavia)
union, as a member of Partida Națională.
During the reign of Alexander Ioan Cuza (1859–1866), Brătianu founded (in
1875) the National Liberal Party(PNL), until today a major political formation.
Opposition to the land reform united the emerging Liberals
and Conservatives against the Domnitor and his inner circle. Both parties
comprised mainly landowners, and allied to block legislation in the Chamber
- causing Cuza to impose his authoritarian government in May 1864.
The two-party coalition, remembered as the monstrous coalition, opted for
the removal of Cuza. Brătianu took part in the deposition of 1866 and in the
subsequent election of Prince Carol of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, under
whom he held several ministerial appointments throughout the next four
years.

7. Besides being the leading statesman of Romania during the critical years 1876–
1888, he attained some eminence as a writer.
His French language political pamphlets, Mémoire sur l'empire d'Autriche dans
la question d'Orient ("Account of the Austrian Empire in the Oriental Issue",
1855), Réflexions sur la situation ("Musings on the Situation", 1856), Mémoire
sur la situation de la Moldavie depuis le traité de Paris("Account on Moldavia's
Situation After the Treaty of Paris", 1857), and La Question religieuse en
Roumanie ("The Religious Issue in Romania", 1866), were all published in Paris.
