How were Romanians so powerful?

Well, they had a fucking vampire prince.

Were they, though?

I guess not. Ottomans were far more powerful, at the end of the day Vlad was killed, Mihai failed and they were Ottomans bitch until late 19th century, only to be saved by Russians.

Plus, the Ottomans stole the design of their armor, along with Da Vinci's design for war machines and used it against them.

>only to be saved by Russians.

Explain this meme. Russia did not allow Romania to participate in the Russo-Turkish war and only allowed Carol to cross the Danube after suffering catastrophic losses and almost losing.

German immigrants, namely trannsylvanian saxons, basically built 100% of the romanian infrastructure. Same thing in "poland" aka occupied eastern germany.
