MILOSH OBRENOVICH I . (178o–186o), See also:prince of See also:Servia, founder of the Obrenovich See also:dynasty, was See also:born in 178o of poor Servian peasants. When he later became prince of Servia he used to tell how for a See also:penny a See also:day he drove See also:cattle from Servia to See also:Dalmatia. His See also:half-See also:brother, See also:Milan Obrenovich, who had See also:developed into a successful exporter of cattle and pigs into See also:Austria, associated him in his own export See also:trade and otherwise supported him. Partly from gratitude and partly because the See also:family name of his half-brother was already honourably known in the See also:country, Milosh adopted that name as his own, and called himself Obrenovich, instead of Theodorovich. See also:Karageorge, the See also:leader of the first Servian revolution against the See also:Turks, appointed Milosh Obrenovich in 1807 a voyvode, i.e. See also:district See also:commander of the See also:national See also:army and See also:civil See also:administrator. As such he distinguished himself in many battles, and was reputed a See also:wise and energetic administrator and a just See also:judge. When in 1813 the Turks under the See also:Grand See also:Vizier Khurshid occupied Servia, and Karageorge and almost all his voyvodes See also:left the country for Austria, Milosh, although strongly advised to follow their example, refused to do so. He remained in the country, surrendered to the Turks, and was recognized by them as the voyvode of Rudnik (Central Servia). As he was then practically the only See also:chief of the nation, the Turks called him to See also:Belgrade, where he was kept through the See also:year 1814 as a See also:hostage. But he found means to prepare a new rising of the Servians against the Turks, and on See also:Palm See also:Sunday 1815 he appeared with his voyvode's See also:standard before the See also:people See also:round the small See also:- CHURCH

church of Takovo, and started the second and successful insurrection. Not so much by his victories on the battlefields as by his See also:clever exploitation of the See also:international difficulties of See also:Turkey, and of the known weakness of the See also:Turkish pashas for " baksheesh "—no doubt also by his statesmanlike moderation—he succeeded in less than two years in obtaining from the See also:Porte the See also:practical recognition of the Servian people's right to self-See also:government. The National See also:Assembly in 1817 elected him prince of Servia.
From that year began the organization of Servia by the Servians as an autonomous See also:province of the See also:Ottoman See also:Empire. But its existence as such rested on no safe and legal basis, except on the readiness of the Servians to defend it with all their might and on the See also:goodwill of the See also:sultan and his" See also:Sublime Porte." Milosh therefore worked hard to obtain some sortof international recognition of the semi-See also:independent status of Servia. See also:Russia came to his assistance, and by the Treaty of See also:Adrianople of 1829 the Porte engaged formally to See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

grant Servia full See also:autonomy. This engagement was somewhat developed in the Hatti-sherif of 183o, which added to Servia three districts (See also:Krushevats, Alexinats, Zaechar), acknowledged her full autonomy, recognized Milosh as hereditary prince of Servia, and declared that the Turks in Servia could have properties and live only in fortified places where there were Turkish garrisons, and not in other towns and villages. Milosh won for his family the hereditary right to the See also:throne of Servia with-out the co-operation of Russia. The creation of a hereditary dynasty in Servia was outside the See also:Russian See also:Balkan policy of that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time, and this See also:great and independent success of Milosh was the first cause of Russia's dissatisfaction with him. The second cause was that, yielding to the pressure exercised on him by his own people, he gave the country a constitution without asking " the See also:protector of Servia," the See also:tsar, for his approval of the step. The third cause was that Milosh consistently resented the interference of Russia in the See also:internal affairs of the principality. The See also:climax of his misdeeds, from the Russian point of view, was that on the occasion of his visit to the Sultan Mahmud II. in 1836 he persuaded the See also:British See also:ambassador, See also:Lord See also:Ponsonby, that it would be useful to establish a British consulate in Belgrade. The first British See also:consul in Servia, See also:Colonel Hodges, became speedily an intimate friend of Prince Milosh, who—probably under his new friend's See also:influence—began to agitate to replace the exclusive See also:protectorate of Russia by the See also:joint protectorate of all the great See also:Powers of See also:Europe. The See also:cabinet of St See also:Petersburg now decided to remove Milosh from the throne of Servia, and, supported by the Russian consul-See also:general, the leaders of the Servian opposition, who posed as champions of a constitutional See also:system, succeeded in forcing him to abdicate in 1839. After his See also:abdication Milosh lived mostly on his estates in See also:Rumania, or in See also:Vienna. In See also:December 1858 the National Assembly of Servia, having dethroned Prince See also:Alexander Karageorgevich, recalled Milosh to the throne of Servia. Milosh came, accompanied by his son See also:Michael, and began to reign in his own old See also:fashion; but See also:death closed his activity on the 14th (27th n.s.) of See also:September 186o. He was buried in the See also:cathedral of Belgrade. (C.
