Editing 1907 Peasants' Revolt (section)

== Spread into Wallachia ==

After 12 March 1907, the revolt spread south from [[Moldavia]] into [[Wallachia]]. Wallachia was the southern historical region of Romania and was divided between [[Muntenia]] in the east and [[Oltenia]] in the west.<ref name="wallachia-geography"/><ref name="muntenia-geography"/><ref name="oltenia-geography"/> The spread into Wallachia made the uprising more dangerous to the government because it brought unrest closer to [[Bucharest]].

In [[Muntenia]], peasant groups formed around estates where rent disputes and labour obligations had already caused tension. The region included Bucharest and several rural districts where large estates remained important to local economic life. The movement reached roads and administrative centres that connected the countryside to the capital.

In [[Oltenia]], the revolt developed in rural districts west of the Olt River. The region's villages depended on agriculture, estate labour, and local market access. The spread into Oltenia showed that the revolt was no longer a Moldavian contract dispute. It had become a wider rural uprising against the lease system.

The highest intensity of the southern phase occurred in late March 1907. Between 25 March and 28 March 1907, major clashes took place in affected districts, especially where army units were ordered to retake villages and break up peasant groups.
