Principality of Serbia

The Principality of Serbia was the state formed as a result of the Serbian Victory in the Second Serbian Uprising. In this state, Milos Obrenovic was the hereditary prince until 1882. In 1878, the treaty of Berlin made Serbia into an independent nation (no longer an autonomous state). The second Serbian state was the Voivodship of Serbia and Tamis Banat. The Voivodship was primarily inhabited by Serbs that migrated northwards after the defeat of the Serbian Desposate. The Hapsburg Emperor of Austria decided to make the autonomous state in order to try and satisfy the wants of independence from the ethni Serbian populace. In 1860, the state was abolished and incorporated into the Austrian and Hungarian Empires. The Symria regions of the state were incorporated into the Kingdom of Slavonia. Later on in history, the Voivodship of Serbia and Tamis Banat would be renamed Vojvodina and be incorporated in the the modern Serbian state.
