Serbian revolution
The Serbian Revolution ( Serbian Српска револуција Srpska revolucija ) was a national and social revolutionary uprising that ran in several phases between 1804 and 1835, as a result of which Serbia completely broke away from around 300 years of Ottoman rule and established itself as a nation state.

A massacre of 72 Serbian Knezen or village elders in January 1804 in the Sanjak of Smederevo by the Janissaries triggered the First Serbian Uprising (1804-1813) led by Đorđe Petrović , followed by the uprising under Prodan Gligorijević (1814) and the subsequent Second Serbian Uprising (1815-1817) under Miloš Obrenović , which ended with an armistice. In the second phase (1817-1835) diplomatic negotiations in 1833 led to the recognition of the sovereign principality of Serbia by the Sublime Porte . Initially, the territory of the principality was relatively small, the area was limited to the Paschaluk Belgrade . In the years 1831–1833 it was expanded to the east, south and west. With the Berlin Congress in 1878, the principality achieved its full independence through international recognition. On March 6, 1882, it was converted into the Kingdom of Serbia (1882-1918). The expression "Serbian Revolution" was coined by Leopold von Ranke (1795–1886) in his book The Serbian Revolution from 1829.
