Montenegro Province, Ottoman Empire
- Montenegro Province, Ottoman Empire
The Province of Montenegro ( _sr. Sandžak Crne Gore) was a province (sanjak) of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkan Peninsula only roughly corresponding to today's Montenegro. It was created from the area of the former Principality of Zeta in the Province of Scutari ("Shkodër/Shkodra/İşkodra").
History
The Province of Montenegro was created in 1514, under the order of Sultan Beyazid II, from the remains of the Principality of Zeta that belonged to the Province of Scutari. The first known governor of the province was Skenderbeg Crnojević, son of Ivan Crnojević, who governed from 1514 - 1528.
The province disappeard when the Montenegrins expelled the Ottomans and their rule from Montenegro. The Montenegrins used the Great Turkish War of 1683-1699 (Also known as War of the Holy League) to expel Ottomans. However, Ottomans reconquered the region and held for them until 1878 as a part of Province of Scutari.
