@@aviaxis6261 come on man after that Vlad Drakul and this treacherous Mihay any other ruler would had just annihilated such a nation. You have to agree.

@@jimijimbow2830 Romanian history is much more complex than this... remember we are here for 3000 years... In this instance, Vlad, even though he scared the shit out of the Ottomans, at historical scale he wasn't as big of a deal as his grandfather Mircea the Wise for instance, who freed Dobrogea. Also Vlad couldn't even be compared to his cousin, Voievod of Moldova, Steven the Great (notice our voievods have a nickname), who ruled for 47 years, had a big fight almost every year and only lost a couple of them in total. The difference between him and Mihai was that he was extremely good at diplomacy and (unlike Mihai) he never fought everybody in the same time, completely alone. After Mihai the Ottomans tried to wipe us completely many times but our Latin culture always prevailed, and we also had heroic voievods who managed to resist even without and army. For instance Constantin Brancoveanu was captured by the Ottomans and forced to watch all his 7 children and his wife being beheaded in front of him then he famously said something like: on my honor, I will not be a Turk until my head sits up there. And so it was, we never got to be Turks thank to his sacrifice.

Vlad's bloodline was a warrior bloodline. The Basarab bloodline gave numerous warrior princes. Wallachia was known for its warriors, this spirit being relevant still today with the southerners being much more conflict seeking, more temperamental, more jealous/envious, Moldova was the seat of intellectuals and the few warrior princes being related to the Basarab dynasty (Stephen the Great being Vlad's cousin) while Transylvania was known for its merchants. This format still applies today, albeit Moldova is less of an intellectual center, Bucharest managing to somehow even the odds in this regard. Still, roughly 2/3 of our major artists, writers and scientists either hailed from Moldova or were educated there.

Mihai was not really related to Vlad. He was not a Basarab.

@@alexwallachian7720 Depends. Most historians today seem to agree that Michael was the bastard son of Patrascu cel Bun, which was from the House of Draculesti, Vlad's branch of the Basarab dynasty.

@BLUE DOG No idea what you mean by J's. Also, for the most part princes like Vlad were the tax collectors. The boyars collected the taxes locally, which were handed out to the prince's treasury, which in turn were sent to the Sultan.

@@Kalimdor199Menegroth do you have any sources? From what i have read he only claimed that he was the son of Patrascu but that is doubtful.

Baba Novak / Starina Novak - a true legend amongst serbians and romanians. The friendship dates from way earlier than the 1600. Mihai's great ancestor and Vlad the Impaler's grandfather "Micea I of Wallachia" helped knez Lazar on the battle of kosovopolje, when the great knight Obilic made his great work of art.

True

*Romanian

@gurpreet daliwell no. He was Romanian. Roman and Dacian

@gurpreet daliwell Does that mean he's Turkish?

@gurpreet daliwell italians also have black hair and long noses

Voi sunteți români ca şi noi, vorbim aceeaşi limba.

You and us, Wallachians from Romania are both former east Romans, speaking same language. Therefore Romanians - of Roman origin. Well Romanized Dacians but former Romans in the end.

Wallach is a german word, so is an EXTERNAL name (exonim), so why you call yourself with a foreigner name and not a name from your language? It's a non sens I tell you why. You call yourself walahians because serbian call you that way to create a separatism from romanians, and then to asimilate you. You "call yourself walahians" because you are brainwashed by slavs

we had to. Imagine invaders wanting your lands at all costs, what would you do: peacefully give them your land, riches, women and children, or being a thorn in your invaders' sides and paying with your life the right to live peacefully on your own lands? It's been the same with us. Our lands have always been at the confluence of big empires and superpowers (the Roman empire, the Ottoman empire, and later on the Soviet Union) and every single one of these superpowers have wanted to claim these lands as their own, despite of the fact that Romanians have lived on these land since the dawn of time, long before Romans, Ottomans, and Russians have even existed. There are more and more evidences every day that a big chunk of today's populations (especially the Latin speaking nations like the Portuguese, Spanish, Catalunyans, but also Indonesians, Indians or some tribes from South Africa) originate on these lands, but we are obviously talking millions of years ago, not recent history. But the evidences exist!
