Background and detail
Background. During the Crimean War, Wallachia experienced renewed Russian occupation. Following the conflict, the Treaty of Paris signed in March 1856 established a new political status for the Principalities. This arrangement included a neutral Austrian administration from 1854 to 1856, followed by a tutelage shared by the Ottomans and a Congress of Great Powers, which included the Austrian Empire.
Garrison Presence. After the Russian forces departed, an Austrian garrison took possession of Bucharest. This military presence continued in the city until March 1857, marking the end of the specific occupation arrangements established during the war's aftermath. The garrison's presence was part of the broader administrative and military context defined by the Treaty of Paris.
Withdrawal. The Austrian garrison withdrew from Bucharest in March 1857. This event concluded the period of Austrian military presence in the city that had begun after the Russian departure. The withdrawal aligns with the timeline of the post-war administrative arrangements for the Danubian Principalities, though specific details on the exact day are not provided in the source text.
