Editing 1907 Peasants' Revolt (section)

== Agrarian reforms ==
The suppression ended the revolt, but it did not remove the pressure behind it. The government was forced to address lease contracts and rural land access after the uprising. Reform became necessary because the revolt had shown that the lease system could create a national crisis. On 23 December 1907, the government passed a law on agricultural contracts. The law regulated lease terms, limited abuses in rural contracts, and gave the state a stronger role in the relationship between peasants and estate administrators. It also created [[Casa Rurală]], an institution intended to support peasant land purchases.

On 12 April 1908, a further law restricted large-scale leaseholding. This measure targeted the concentration of leased land under intermediaries who controlled large areas. The reform was a direct response to the Flămânzi dispute and to the rapid spread of unrest through Moldavia and Wallachia. The reforms did not abolish the estate system. They changed the legal conditions under which leaseholders and peasants negotiated land access. The revolt therefore became a turning point in state involvement in rural contracts.
