Abstract

On 4 July 1854, Dumitru Bratianu addressed a memorandum to the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Clarendon, in which the Romanian diaspora protested against the Austrian occupation, which took effect in mid-August. Conservative Austria's involvement in the Eastern crisis was not to everybody's taste in Britain. For the Romanians, the decision meant simply the realization of older Austrian expansionist plans in South-East Europe and the replacement of one foreign occupation with another.Keywords: Crimean war; Dumitru Bratianu; Romanian
