Home > First Serbian Uprising

1 Background

After the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the Turkish-Austrian war of 1791, Serbs living under Turkey began to realise that an uprising against Turkey might be successful.

Seeing the growing displeasure, the Turkish sultan proclaimed ferman s in 1793 and 1796 which gave more rights to Serbs. Among other things, taxes were now collected by local Serbian rulers ( knez es), freedom of trade and religion was granted, and, most important of all, the Janissary had to leave Belgrade Pashaluk.

But on January 30, 1799, the Turkish court allowed the Janissary to return. They and their leaders, the dahia s, showed little or no respect to any authority--even the central Turkish government. After they killed Belgrade vizierA Vizier (, sometimes also spelled Wazir is an Arabic term for a high-ranking religious and political advisor, often to a king or sultan.

Recently-granted rights were suspended, and dahias exerted unlimited rule over Belgrade Pashaluk. TaxA tax is an involuntary fee paid by individuals or businesses to a government. Taxes may be paid in cash or kind (although payments in kind may not always be allowed or classified as taxes in all systems). The means of taxation, and the uses to which thees were drastically increased, land taken away, forced labour (citlucenje) introduced, and many citizens fled the Janissary in fear.

2 The Uprising Begins

Serb leaders then began to conspire about starting an uprising against the dahias. When dahias found out about this, they captured and killed many of the Serbian leaders on February 4February 4 is the 35th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar.

This event, known today as Seca knezova (beheading of knezes) incited the uprising. In retrospect, it is seen as a huge mistake by the Janissary: it angered the people and the leaders now had nothing to lose.

See also geographical regions in Serbia an village of Orasac , the Serbs gathered and decided to raise an uprising. Djordje Petrovic ( Karadjordje) was elected as the leader of the uprising.

The uprising started immediately. That same afternoon, a Turkish han in Orasac was burned, and its residents fled or were killed. Similar actions were undertaken in surrounding villages and then spread even further. Soon the cities Valjevo and Pozarevac were liberated, and the siege of Belgrade started.

When he was informed about the uprising, the Turkish Sultan started to negotiate with the rebels. Dahias escaped from Belgrade, but they were captured and killed on the island of Ada Kale in the Danube.

Eventually the negotiations failed, and the Sultan organised a military campaign against the uprising.

The first major battle of the uprising was the Battle of Ivankovac in 1805, where Karadjordje defeated the Turkish army and forced it to retreat toward Nis. The second major battle of the uprising was Battle of Misar in 1806. There, rebels faced an army sent from Bosnia, led by Kulin Kapetan ; they were again victorious. At the same time, another army was sent from the southeast. This army was faced in the battle of Deligrad by the rebels who, led by Petar Dobrnjac , were successful again. In December of the same year, the rebels besieged Belgrade, which was finally liberated in the beginning of 1807.
