    ➤ I feel I could've explained better the reasons why Michael had to retreat. After Calugareni, Sinan Pasha held his nerve and didn't retreat. He had more troops coming over the Danube and he refreshed his army due to the vastly superior Ottoman resources in men and material. The Ottoman Empire was a superpower, which could recover from defeats such as Calugareni, while Wallachia was a local power and could therefore not afford any mistakes in this conflict. When Calugareni didn't open the way for Michael to stop the Ottoman invasion, he had only one more chance at Giurgiu…

  2. We romanians really could have pushed the brave othomans back to Asia. Didn't do it for not being occupied by germans, hungarians or poles. We tricked european powers. Here is a very powerful anticatholic propaganda! Turks treated orthodoxy with respect. We don't like greeks either. Constantinopol is a greek city, so is Adrianopol, avoided colaboration. Michael might be greek by origin, but romanians don't want to mingle in balkan affairs.

  3. Romanians prefer serbs, rusians, georgians and bulgarians to catholics, protestants and greeks! The last ones are bulgarians anyway, even if their influence was maybe greater. We don't like rusian imperialism.
