Editing 1907 Peasants' Revolt (section)

== Political crisis ==
The government of [[Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino]] failed to contain the revolt while it was still limited to Moldavia. Reports from affected districts showed that civil police and county officials could not restore order on their own. The crisis weakened the [[Conservative Party (Romania)|Conservative]] government at the moment when the revolt was moving beyond its original area.

On 12 March 1907, Cantacuzino's government resigned. [[Dimitrie Sturdza]] formed a [[National Liberal Party (Romania)|Liberal]] government on the same day. [[Ion I. C. Brătianu]] became minister of the interior, while [[Alexandru Averescu]] became minister of war. The change of government marked the transition from local containment to a centralized military response. [[Carol I of Romania]] remained head of state during the crisis, and the monarchy backed the restoration of order through the new government and the army.

The political crisis showed that the land question had become a national issue. The government could no longer treat rural unrest as isolated disorder. The revolt was now tied to state stability, estate property, and the authority of central government outside major cities.
