[edit] History
In 1718, the Habsburg Monarchy conquered from the Ottoman Empire parts of present-day Serbia, including Banat, south-eastern Syrmia, and northern parts of Central Serbia. In part of this territory, south of the rivers Sava and Danube, the Habsburgs formed a province named Kingdom of Serbia. Habsburg emperor used a title of a king of Serbia, while administrator of the province was appointed governor. Territory of present-day eastern Serbia, also conquered by the Habsburgs in 1718, was not included into Kingdom of Serbia, but was administratively a part of the Banat of Temeswar.
After a new Habsburg-Ottoman war in 1739, the Habsburg Monarchy lost all territories south of the rivers Sava and Danube, including whole territory of the Kingdom of Serbia. Banat and Syrmia, in today's northern Serbia, remained under Habsburg rule up to 1918.
Territory of present-day Central Serbia has been included into the Habsburg Empire on two other occasions as well:
- previously, between 1689 and 1692,
- during the Kočina Krajina Serb rebellion (1788-1791).
