About Moldova:
Moldova, officially the Republic of Moldova, is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe.
It is situated in the east of the Carpathian Mountains between the Prut and Dniester Rivers.
It is bordered by Romania to the west and Ukraine to the north, east, and south.
History:
Formerly known as Bessarabia, this region was an integral part of the Romanian principality of Moldavia until 1812, when it was ceded to Russia by its suzerain, the sultan of the Ottoman Empire.
Bessarabia remained a province of the Russian Empire until after World War I, when it became a part of Greater Romania.
It reverted to Russian control in 1940–41.
Again after World War II, it was joined to a strip of formerly Ukrainian territory, the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, on the left bank of the Dniester River to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic.
Upon the collapse of the Soviet Union in August 1991, this republic declared its independence and took the name Moldova.
