Karageorge

(Karadjordje Petrović). Born Nov. 14, 1768, in the village of Viševac, Šumadija region; died July 25, 1817, in Radovanje, near Smederevo. Leader of the First Serbian Uprising (1804—13) against the Ottoman yoke.

Karageorge was the son of poor peasants. During the Austro-Turkish War of 1788–90 he headed a Serbian volunteer detachment that fought on the side of Austria. At a gathering of insurgents in February 1804, he was proposed as leader of the uprising. He proved to be a talented military commander and won a number of victories over the Turks. In the area of domestic policy, he fought the influential voivodas, who opposed the centralization of power. In 1808 the State Council and, in 1811, the skupština (assembly) of the insurgents acknowledged Karageorge as the supreme Serbian leader. His position was confirmed again in 1811 at a gathering of the insurgents.

Karageorge was the founder of the Karageorgevich (Karadjordjević) dynasty (1808). His foreign policy was directed toward seeking Russian help. After the uprising was put down, he fled to Austria, where he was interned. In 1814 he went to Russia and lived in Bessarabia. He secretly arrived in Serbia in 1817 and was killed on orders from Milos Obrenovic.
