Karadjordje Petrovic, leader of Serbian uprising in 1804
The total population rose from a million in the early 19th century to 2.5 million in 1900, when Belgrade contained 100,000 inhabitants (northern part was held by AustroHungary), Niš; 24,500 and half a dozen other cities 10-15,000 each.
Internal politics revolved largely around the dynastic rivalry between the Obrenovic and Karadjordjevic families, descendants respectively of Miloš Obrenovic, (recognised as hereditary prince in 1829) and Karadjordje (Black George), leader of the 1804 revolt but killed in 1817, allegedly at Miloš's behest,.

This period was marked by the alternation of two dynasties descending from Djordje Petrovic - Karadjordje, leader of the First Serbian Uprising and Milos Obrenovic, leader of the Second Serbian Uprising.
In the second half of 19th century Serbia was integrated into the constellation of European states and the first political parties were founded thus giving new momentum to political life.
The coup d'etat in 1903, bringing Karadjordje's grandson to the throne with the title of King Petar I opened the way for parliamentary democracy in Serbia.

Petar Petrovic Njegos (1813-1851), the Bishop and ruler of Montenegro, embraced the entire epoch in his poetic development - from folk poetry, through the aspirations of Classicism, up to Romanticism.
At the same time, his work contributed to the development of Serbian poetic expression and verse, and it had a constant influence on the poetry of the time.
Three other writers should be mentioned: the gentle lyricist Jovan Grcic Milenko, the virtuoso writer of comedies Kosta Trifkovic, and Nikola Petrovic Njegos the Montenegrin king.

During the 18th and 19th centuries around half a million Serbs gradually returned to Serbian soil.
The Serbs always dreamed of freeing themselves from Turkish rule and in 1804 a peasant named Petrovic, better known as Karadjordje (Black George), led an uprising against the Turks in which some 40,000 Muslims were driven from the province of Belgrade.
The Turks cruelly smashed the uprising; villages were burned and thousands were sold into slavery.
