By a speech in the Parliament of Romania by Mihail Kogălniceanu, the country declares itself independent from the Ottoman Empire (recognized in 1878 after the end of the Romanian independence war).

This podcast is BEST podcast

Bobby and Red are lovely, funny, good boys. Also, they are humble geniuses with IQs nearing 200. Bobby's might be higher if I recall correctly. Wait - is the correct word 'genii'? I don't know but I'm sure they do, because they are either geniuses or genii, depending on which word is correct. Who is better equipped to teach us about history? I can't think of anyone. They aren't just historians, though. Oh no! They are polymaths. They offer insights into metaphysics (did you know your soul is in your thyroid?), scientists (they have a working time machine), and philanthropists (Red, in particular, is very kind to disadvantaged youths and homeless people when e-scooters are involved). Listening to this podcast has not only made me a cleverer person, as their genius transmits through radiowaves into my brain-space, but has made me a more compassionate human being as well. They are truly the heroes of our age.
