Crimea War
October 4, 1853: The Crimean War begins
On October 4, 1853, the Crimean War between the Ottoman Empire, supported by France and the United Kingdom, and Russia, broke out under a religious pretext. The conflict escalates rapidly, becoming a pan-European one.
The war of Crimea began, in fact, in 1853, when Russia occupied the principalities of Moldova and Wallachia. Russia had declared war on the Ottoman Empire, and some of the generals of St. Petersburg wanted to set the Russian border on the Danube and annex the two Romanian states, as in 1812, the Empire of the Cotropise Bessarabia. Russian diplomats wanted even more: they believed that it is possible to conquer Constantinople and even Jerusalem.
The Russian aggression has aroused concern in Europe, and the UK, France and the Kingdom of Sardinia have decided to provide military aid to the Ottoman Empire. Thus, the three Western countries declared war on Russia and sent an expeditionary body to the Crimea Peninsula.
The war, which lasted until 1856, caused massive losses, with over 220,000 dead. After the completion of the hostilities, the Paris Congress of 1856 established the terms of peace. Taking advantage of the presence of the great powers, the Romanian diplomats pleaded for the union of the Romanian Country and of Moldova, initiative supported by France, especially by Napoleon III.
Crimea's war
The Treaty of Paris, signed on March 30, 1856, brought important changes: the Russia's protectorate was abolished on the Romanian Country, guaranteeing the collective protection of the great powers, but keeping the Ottoman suzerainty. At the same time, the freedom of navigation on the Danube was guaranteed and it was decided to consult the Romanian population regarding the union, through the ad-hoc meetings. In Bucharest, an international commission was formed to propose solutions for internal organization. These steps laid the foundations for the union of the Romanian Principalities in 1859.
1873: The Romanian mathematician Gheorghe Țițeica was born.
Gheorghe Țițeica (b. 4/17 October 1873, Drobeta Turnu-Severin-d. February 5, 1939, Bucharest), Romanian mathematician and educator, professor at the University of Bucharest and at the Polytechnic School in Bucharest, member of the Romanian Academy and of several foreign academies, doctor Honoris Causa of Varșovia.
1881: George (Gogu) Constantinescu, Romanian builder engineer, the discoverer of a new science, “Sonicity” was born.
George (Gogu) Constantinescu (b. October 4, 1881, Craiova – d. December 11, 1965, Coniston, Cumbria, Great Britain), innovative, inventor, Romanian scientist and engineer. The English magazine The Graphic considers him one of the 17 Titans of the world who revolutionized science, placing it with Einstein, Marconi, Edison or Lister; (He died in the Corniston, in the UK on 11.12.1965).
It has shown that the liquids are compressible (the whole field of sonicity is based on this) although all the physics textbooks support the exact opposite today. The first patents were refused in America because the management of the Patent Institute considered the inventions unrealable precisely due to the theory of liquid incompretability.
He was responsible for creating a new field of mechanics, called Sonicity, which describes the transmission of energy through vibrations in fluid or solid bodies. He applied the new theory in numerous inventions: sonic engine, sonic pump, sonic hammer and others. His other achievements include a firing device among the propeller's blades regardless of its speed and the first automatic gearbox. He actively participated in the construction of English aircraft, the Bristol type, during the time he lived in England.
He was among the first to use the concrete-armed in the construction of the buildings in Romania-among the buildings built by it: the Casino in Constanța, the Water Castle from Periș, the bridges over the Siret river from Adjud, Răcătău, Roman, the Patriarchate Palace, the Hotel Athénée Palace, the Great Moschee in Constanta I). Gogu Constatinescu was one of those brilliant minds, whose ideas have greatly detached his physical existence, but who today keep their actuality, surprising by accuracy, inventiveness and applicability.
In the account of Gogu Constatinescu there are about 400 patents, patented in the US, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Great Britain, France, etc., as well as others, which have never been published. A small calculation shows us that from the appearance of the first invention (1907), until the date of passing into eternity (1965), a patent was made at less than 2 months.
Many of the predictions of Gogu Constatinescu have appeared and disappeared, many are used today or retract interest. It has conquered academic fame and professional honor both at home and abroad, but it was less rewarded for what it did in the field of materials. Like most inventors, he suffered disappointments in his efforts to convince the industry and officials of the value of his ideas.
The scientist and engineer Gogu Constatinescu was the one who developed and applied the theory of Sonicity, a new science regarding the transmission of power through liquids, solids or gases. But Gogu is still commemorated by the general public and the pilots in the air service, as the man who invented the synchronized firing device of the air machine guns among the propeller's blades for the First World War.
In this context, on March 29, 1920, the famous newspaper “The Times” publishes: “Vice Sir John Maitland presided over a lecture by Mr. Gogu Constatinescu (transmitting power through vibrations), given to Polytechnic, under the auspices of a series of lectures for teachers of London Tint. Mr. Constatinescu and the firing device that he invented, we held the supremacy over the Germans in the air, as we did. “
1934: The actor Mircea Albulescu was born
Born in Bucharest, Mircea Albulescu graduated in 1952 the Middle School of Architecture, later attending the Institute of Theater and Cinematographic Art.

Moreover, from 1985 to 2005, he was a professor at the theater and film University in the Capital, where he had as students Adrian Titieni, Florin Piersic Jr. and Elvira Deatcu.
The actor died on April 8, 2016, at the age of 82.
From his filmography we mention: “Dacii”, “Mihai Viteazul”, “Power and Truth”, “Actor and Wild”, “For Fatherland”, “Race”, “Mercenarilor Cap.,” We, the first line “,” Crai de Curtea Veche “and” Anniversary “.
1943: The actor and singer Folk Florian Pittiş was born born
Born on October 4, 1943, Florian Pittiș worked at the Bulandra Theater in the Capital, where he collaborated with famous directors such as Liviu Ciulei, Andrei Șerban or Alexandru Tocilescu. He became known in the musical field in a trio consisting of Anda Călugăreanu and Dan Tufaru.
Subsequently, in 1992, Florian Pittiș, Mircea Baniciu, Mircea Vintilă and Vladi Cnejevici lay the foundations of the Bird Colibri band, which broke down in 2002.
He performed dozens of roles in famous pieces: Trufaldino from “The servant to two masters”, Lucius from “Iulius Cezar”, George Webb from “Our city”, Camille from “Puricele in the Ear”, the cousin from “These foolish fools”, Trajan from “Titanic Vals” and Laertes from “Hamlet”.
The project for which Pittiş, however, remained famous and today, is the Colibri bird, the group made together with Mircea Baniciu, Mircea Vintilă and Vlady Cnejevici, in the winter of 1992, in Râmnicu Vâlcea. It was a spontaneous reunion, on stage, not a difficult plan. That was in those years, there was room for everyone, and people did not cramp in marketing and brand.
The Colibri bird flew from the music scene in 2002, and Florian Pittiş dedicated to other soul projects, such as the Folk You! Festival, which took place every summer at Vama Veche, as well as the radio shows, which is passionate until the end of his life.
