Wallachian campaigns

The Wallachian campaigns refer to a series of military operations and diplomatic efforts conducted by the Ottoman Empire, Wallachia (a historical region now part of Romania), and neighboring powers during the 15th and 16th centuries. These campaigns involved conflicts over territory, influence, and independence, with Wallachia often caught between larger empires such as the Ottomans, Hungary, and Moldova. Wallachian rulers sometimes allied with these powers, resisting Ottoman domination, while at other times cooperating to maintain autonomy. The campaigns ultimately shaped the region's political landscape, influencing its struggle for independence and regional stability.
