From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Serbian Principality was a state in the Balkans that came into existence as a result of First Serbian Uprising and Second Serbian Uprising between 1804 and 1816. Despite serious oppression and revenge by the Ottoman authorities (that was especially evident between the revolutions), first Karadjordje and then Milos Obrenovic, the revolutionary leaders, have succeeded in their goal to liberate Serbia. Turkish authorities have acknowledged this state and Milos became a hereditary prince of Serbian Principality, which would last until 1882 when Serbian Kingdom was proclaimed after achieving independence in 1878 (see Treaty of Berlin, 1878).
