This is a beautiful and modern city. Lives in Bucharest, 2 million people, is the largest city in Romania. From here to the Bulgarian border is only about 70 km. Bucharest has seen a lot in my lifetime. Before the foundation of the city there were the Romans, then settled in the vicinity of the Goths, in the Middle Ages, the city became the capital of the principality of Wallachia. The city seized the Ottoman Turks, Austrians, Germans, Greeks .... Who just was not there. Bucharest - the only city in Europe where Socialism had been overthrown in a popular uprising. The ending of the uprising was the execution of the President of Romania Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, and the transition of the Romanian economy to a market economy. Bucharest (trader of Bucureşti, Bucuresti.) - The capital of Romania, an important economic and cultural center of the country. more than 1.8 million people live in Bucharest and its suburbs. This is one of the most populous cities in the Balkan Peninsula. According to legend, Bucharest was founded by a shepherd named Bucur (Bucur). Another, more plausible version claims that the city was founded Mircea the Old in the XIV century, after the victory over the Turks. Bucharest was first mentioned under its present name in 1459 as the residence of Prince Vlad Tepes Vlašský. Soon it is placed, and the prince's court. In 1595 the town was burned by the Turks. After recovery, Bucharest grew rapidly, and in 1698 Prince Constantin Brancoveanu transfers capital here. In 1859, Bucharest became the capital of united Romania. During the XVIII century Bucharest several times occupied by the Turkish, Russian and Austrian armies. In 1812 it signed a peace treaty, under which the territory between the Prut and the Dniester was ceded to the Russian Empire. As a result, the Romanian revolution of 1848 against the prince Bibesco Russian troops seized the city and held it in 1853-1854 respectively. After the withdrawal of Russian in Bucharest to March 1857 remained Austrian garrison. In 1858 the International Congress was held in Bucharest, dedicated to the organization of the Danubian principalities. In 1861, after the proclamation of the union of Wallachia and Moldova, Bucharest became the capital of Romania. During the First World War, Bucharest was occupied by German troops (from 6 December 1916 to 17 November 1918). At that time, the capital was moved to Iasi. In November 1918, Bucharest became the capital of the Romanian kingdom. In June 1941, with the consent of the Romanian government in Bucharest were put German troops. The city was badly damaged by Allied bombing during the war. [3] The city was liberated from German occupation in a popular armed uprising August 23, 1944. December 30, 1947 the Romanian People's Republic was proclaimed in Bucharest. During the reign of Nicolae Ceauşescu, particularly in the 1976-1979 period, when the city administration headed by a close associate of the dictator Ion Dinke, most historic part of the city, including old churches, was destroyed. In its place was built a huge complex of administrative buildings. In December 1989, the Romanian revolution started in Timisoara, moved to Bucharest. Ceausescu regime ceased to exist. In 1990 he was followed by massive protests dissatisfied with the results of the revolution, supported by student unions. This event became known as Golaniada. Popular movements were brutally suppressed with the help of the miners (mineriad). There was some more mineriad that led to the change of government. After 2000, due to the economic growth of Romania, the city has been greatly upgraded, many historical areas have been restored.
