The second revolt Serb against the Turks took place of 1815 with 1817. It was mainly led by Miloš Obrenović and was completed by the autonomy of the Serbia.

Context

Between 1804 and 1813, the First revolt Serb against the Turks had succeeded in releasing for a time the country of the Othoman supervision .

Karageorges had been one of the main leaders of this first revolt. But, in spite of its efforts to rejoin with its cause the Serb ones of Austria and Bosnia-Herzégovine, the Russians or even the emperor Napoleon i, the first revolt was crushed by the Othoman in 1813. A great number of the chiefs of this first revolt took refuge in Austria.

Miloš Obrenović, which had taken part in the rebellion, went to the Turks and accepted them titrates it of “prince” (knez).

Stanoje Glavaš also went, but, suspect with the eyes of the Othomans, it was stopped and condemned to death. Hadzi Prodan Gligorijevic knew that the Turks were going to stop it too him. This is why, since 1814, it called with a new revolt. But Miloš Obrenović considered that such a movement was premature and he refused his assistance to him. Hadzi Prodan had to flee in Austria to escape death.

After this attempt, the Turks reinforced their control on the Serbia. By poking the feelings of hostility, their repression opened the way with another revolt.

Unfolding

The April 23rd 1815, the national council of Serb, joined together with Takovo, launched the insurrection. Miloš Obrenović, selected as chief, proclaimed: “I am present, you are present. Let us make the war with the Turks”. When the Othoman were informed of this new rising, they condemned some to dead all the chiefs. The Serb ones fought battle, in particular with Čačak, Požarevac and Dublje; and they ended up being made main of the pachalik of Belgrade.

Consequences

During the summer 1815, entered into the first negociation between Miloš Obrenović and the Othoman governor. Obrenović succeeds in obtaining an autonomy partial of the Serbia and, in 1816, the Sublime Door recognized the new Principality of Serbia. The new State had to continue to pay a tribute with the Ottoman Empire; a Turkish garrison was maintained with Belgrade until in 1867. But, in the facts, the Serbia had become an almost independent state.

In 1817, Miloš Obrenović concludes with the Turkish governor an agreement not written. This agreement put an end to the second Serb revolt against the Turks. Miloš Obrenović accepted the title of Prince de Serbie. The same year, Karageorges was assassinated on the order of Obrenović.

The Serbia acquired its final independence with the Traité of Berlin in 1878.
