Paris Convention of 1858
The Paris Convention of 1858 was an agreement of the great powers, signed on 19 August 1858, that reorganised the Danubian Principalities after the Crimean War. It created the United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, each with its own prince and assembly but with a common central commission at Focșani, under Ottoman suzerainty. The double election of Alexandru Ioan Cuza in 1859 used its terms to unite the two states.
