Background and detail
Background. The Wallachian uprising of 1821 was a social and political rebellion in a tributary state of the Ottoman Empire. The Holy Alliance, through the Congress of Laibach in 1821, condemned the Greek revolution and imposed withdrawal of endorsement for Ypsilantis' movement. The Congress of Verona in 1822 advised against the Greek Revolution, reflecting the Alliance's stance on revolutionary movements.
Diplomatic Action. On March 14, 1822, the Holy Alliance issued a final warning to the Ottoman Empire, which prompted the Sultan to recall his troops. This action was part of the broader diplomatic efforts of the Quintuple Alliance, which met at the Congress of Verona in 1822 to advise against the Greek Revolution and resolve upon the French invasion of Spain.
Aftermath. In July 1822, following boyar complaints with Russian and Austrian backing, the Sultan ended the Phanariote regime in Wallachia, appointing Grigore IV Ghica as Prince. The uprising is seen as a failed social revolution with far-reaching political implications, contributing to the demise of the Phanariote regime.
