Serbian Revolt in the Ottoman Empire 1804-1806

Mass migrations out of their ancestral homeland (present-day Kosovo and southern Serbia) shifted the Serb population northward into the Sumadija and across the Danube and Sava rivers into what is now Vojvodina and Croatia. In 1699 the Ottomans were pushed south of the Danube River by Austrian Habsburg armies, but Serb lands to the south remained under Turkish rule

The movement for Serbian independence began in the Sumadija, with uprisings under the Serbian patriots Karadjordje Petrovic (1804-13) and Milos Obrenovic (1815-17).

In 1804 renegade Turkish soldiers in Belgrade murdered Serbian leaders, triggering a popular uprising under Karadjordje ("Black George") Petrovic, founder of the Karadjordjevic dynasty. Russia supported the Serbs, and in 1806 the sultan granted them limited autonomy.
