These Serbian–Ottoman conflicts (or Serbian–Turkish conflicts) include those of medieval Serbia against the Ottoman Empire, until World War I.
In 1471, the Serbian Despotate was renewed in exile as a vassal of Hungary. Up until its demise in 1540, it spent its entirety fighting the Turks. The state provided support and auxiliary troops to the Kingdom of Hungary.
