Principality and Kingdom of Serbia

Principality and Kingdom of Serbia was a state in Balkans and Greece (Europe) that lasted from 1815 to 1918 CE, about 103 years. Its people spoke Slavic languages (Russian, Polish, Czech, Serbian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian).

Revolts in 1804 and 1815 won autonomy from the Ottomans, independence came in 1878 and a kingdom in 1882. Austria-Hungary's attack on Serbia in 1914 began the First World War.
