	History of Serbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The next generation of Serbian rulers - the sons of Stefan Prvovenčani - Radoslav, Vladislav and Uroš I, marked a period of stagnation of the state structure.
		The kingdom spread to the east by conquering the town of Niš and the surrounding counties, and to the south by acquiring territories in Macedonia.
		The Serbian Army defended the country and won several victories, but it was finally overpowered by the forces of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria, and had to withdraw from the national territory marching across the Albanian mountain ranges to the Adriatic Sea.

	Between Serb and Albanian
		Serbian historiography claims that the Albanian population was formed from a mele of peoples including remnants of Illyrians but also a mixture of peoples who inhabited the western Balkans during the classical and medieval period.
		Serbian scientific and political institutions strive to substantiate that since their arrival in the Balkans in the sixth century, the South Slavs have dominated the Kosovo region, and that the Albanians only arrived as late as the end of the seventeenth century and primarily during the eighteenth century.
		Serbian archaeologists assert a number of theses on the origins of the Albanians, the most widely accepted being that the Albanians were not Illyrian but a mixture of Daco-Moesian, appearing during the early Middle Ages as a result of intermarriage between nomadic shepherds and local un-romanised remnants, including those of the Illyrians and the Dardanians.

	THE BOSNIAN CONFLICT: An Historical Perspective
		Rivalry between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Serbian Kingdom for control of Bosnia-Herzegovina was one of the major causes of the First World War.
		As it happened, the Serbian Kingdom was very willing to take the smaller South Slav nations under its wing and the idea of a South Slav confederation had already taken hold among some political leaders from the smaller nations.
		This was to be a "constitutional, democratic and parliamentary" kingdom headed by the Karadjordevic dynasty of Serbia.

		From the twelweth to the fifteenth century it was part of the Serbian medieval kingdom, the Serbian empire and the Serbian Despotate.
		In the course of the years, due to this silent ethnic cleansing tolerated or even encouraged by the federal communist leadership, the Serbian population in Kosovo-Metohija was reduced by almost a half, from 23.6 percent in 1948 to 13.2 percent in 1981, the relatively high birth rate during Tito’s rule notwithstanding.
		The attempts by Serbian communists to resolve the question of Serbia's competencies over the provinces in agreement with the other republican leaderships, for the purpose of protecting the Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija more efficiently, were rejected by all the other republics with unhidden antagonism.

	The Heavenly Kingdom in Serbia's Historic Destiny
		The first evidence of this appeared among the Serbian saints, who through their ascetism, virtues, and suffering were constructing a spiritual ladder to the Kingdom of Heaven for their people and who exemplified through their lives the manner in which the world, the path of history, and man's deeds within it should be evaluated.
		Another component of the Serbian spiritual identity is zaduzbinarstvo (the erection of churches and monasteries for the sake of one's own salvation, as well as for the lasting benefit of one's people), which is a further indication of both the direction and the degree of the people's spiritual growth.
		This is a testimony to the continued faith of the Serbian people and their desire to honor St. Sava whose relics were burned by the Tuks as the ultimate insult to the Serbian people on the very spot where the Cathedral of Vracar is being built.

	Kosovo's "Forgotten" History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		After the fall of the medieval Serbian Kingdom to the Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, the Serbian lands gradually became subject to Turkish domination, although, unlike their Albanian neighbors, the Serbs did not embrace Islam.
		The liberation of Serbia from the Turks led to the establishment of the modern Kingdom of Serbia in 1912 under King Peter I. With the inclusion of neighboring territories, the Serbian king became the head of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes and, later, of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (or "South Slavs").
		The Serbian monarchy prevailed until the fall to the communists in 1945, when the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was formed.

	THE BALKAN PIEDMONT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The Serbian national program was drawn up in 1844, during the rule of Prince Alexander Karadjordjevic (1842-1858), at a time when, after the toppling of absolutist ruler Milos Obrenovic, liberal ideas, accompanied by administrative reforms in the organization of the state administration, had rapidly penetrated the political life of the autonomous Serbian principality.
		The Serbian unit, apart from Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Herzegovina and Old Serbia, would also include part of Macedonia "where the character of Serbian customs, the Serbian way of thinking, Serbian inclinations, and even the language itself, has largely and essentially penetrated, and that is the region spreading up to and somewhat beyond the Vardar River".
		An authority on Serbian affairs - the consul in Belgrade 1868-1875, a Hungarian nobleman Benjamin Kallay, was appointed governor of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1882.

	On the Serbian Orthodox New Martyrs of the Second World War
		After World War I the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later to become the Kingdom of Yugoslavia) was created by the victorious allies out of the former kingdoms of Serbia and Montenegro as well as virtually all of the territory of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire inhabited by the South Slavic peoples.
		One of the causes of this war, of course, was Austrian attempts to prevent a unified Serbian kingdom which would naturally include the largely Serbian portions of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
		It must also be remembered that one of Austria's allies in that war was Bulgaria, which, though an Orthodox kingdom, was a traditional enemy of Serbia and was certainly not favorable to a large unified Serbian state on its borders.

		Serbian monks found shelter and lived in the existing Greek, Russian, Bulgarian or Georgian monasteries, or eventually lived in caves, leading the life of a solitary or hermit.
		The most wonderful element in the legacy of the monks Sava and Simeon son and father was their joint effort to bring to the Serbian nation a spiritual center in which prayer and committed Christian life would be the eternal flame and vigil lamp guiding the Serbian people to the Kingdom of God.
		This work was one of Sava's greatest literary and political feats, for it enabled the kingdom of Serbia to be greatly influenced by the highly cultured and civilized Byzantine state, whose vision of society and human life was primarily motivated and governed by the Orthodox faith.

	The July Crisis: Austria-Hungary
		The suggestion of the British Government that the settlement of the Serbian controversy should be entrusted to a conference of the Powers did not reach Vienna until after the opening of hostilities, and was therefore outstripped by events.
		She could not, therefore, allow herself to be terrorized by the possibility of a conflict with Russia, in the event of that country taking Serbia under her protection; she must make an end of the intolerable situation, that a Russian charter should give the Serbian Kingdom continued impunity in her hostility to Austria-Hungary.
		It was, therefore, a paramount necessity for her to require that the hostile measures of mobilization in the Empire of the Czar should, first of all, be revoked.

		Because the letter "J" did not exist before Vuk Karadzic's (Serbian reformer) reforms, but the letter "JAT" did exist, the reader could interpret the sound to be read in any way, depending on which dialect he spoke and how the dialect or regionalism pronounces the sound "J".
