Kočina Krajina Serb rebellion

Kočina Krajina Serb rebellion

Kočina Krajina Serb rebellion was an uprising of Serbs against the Ottoman Empire from Feb 1788 - 7 Sep 1788. "Koča Andjelković" (b. 1755 - d. 1788) [ [http://www.starnarcosis.net/obsidian/westbalk.html Western Balkans ] ] was the leader of the uprising which was aided by the Habsburg Empire. It enabled the Habsburgs to conquer Serbia from the Ottomans, attaching the territory of the Pashaluk of Belgrade to other Serb-populated areas of their Empire. The crownland of (third) Habsburg Serbia existed for 3 years. [ [http://www.srpska-mreza.com/bookstore/kosovo/kosovo14.htm The Heavenly Kingdom in Serbia's Historic Destiny ] ]

By 1791 however the Austrians were forced into withdrawal across the Danube and Sava rivers, joined by thousands of Serbian families who feared Ottoman revenge for supporting the Habsburgs.
