Summary/Abstract: In full war against the Ottomans, the Austrians tried to take out of the war and even occupy the two Romanian countries, part of the Ottoman Empire. While Wallachia quickly succumbed to the attack, Moldavia proved to be a tough enemy. With good information, a determined Phanariote ruler and Tatar allies, Moldavia managed to defend itself bravely in 1717 and even mount an attack into Transylvania the same year.
