Why did the Great Powers accept Cuza's double election in 1859?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. They disagreed
- Step 1: The Convention of Paris of 1858 kept the principalities separate, each with its own ruler. Step 2. Moldavians and Wallachians elected the same man in both, and the powers, divided on the issue, accepted the situation. Answer: the powers disagreed, so they accepted union in one ruler. Why not the others: there had not been agreement, Russia did not receive Romania and the French Revolution was in 1789.
