What would be less implausible in the period from 1563-1863 - Habsburg or Romanov annexation of Moldavia and Wallachia, the Ottoman-ruled or visualized regions that went on to form Romania by the mid-nineteenth century?
Between Austria or Russia, which could more realistically and plausibly overcome the challenges of a) ousting Ottoman influence of the 'Danubian principalities' and b) cementing their own direct control?
