Serbian Revival Explained

The Serbian Revival (sr|Српски препород / Srpski preporod) or Serbian national awakening refers to a period in the history of the Serbs between the 18th century and the de jure establishment of the Principality of Serbia (1878). It began in Habsburg territory, in Sremski Karlovci.^[1] The Serbian renaissance (Српска ренесанса / Srpska renesansa) is said to have begun in 17th-century Banat.^[2] The Serbian Revival began earlier than the Bulgarian National Revival.^[3] The first revolt in the Ottoman Empire to acquire a national character was the Serbian Revolution (1804–1817),^[1] which was the culmination of the Serbian renaissance.^[4] According to Jelena Milojković-Djurić: "The first literary and learned society among the Slavs was Matica srpska, founded by the leaders of Serbian revival in Pest in 1826."^[5] Vojvodina became the cradle of the Serbian renaissance during the 19th century.^[6] Vuk Stefanović Karadžić (1787–1864) was the most instrumental in this period.^{[7] [8]}

The Serbian Revival threatened to jeopardize Austria, to question its strategic interests.^[9] The Serbs had established the short-lived Serbian Vojvodina during the 1848 Revolutions through armed conflict with the Hungarians, as part of the Revival.^[10]

Although the Serbian Revival adopted the idea of cooperation between the Yugoslav peoples, and was influenced by its national policy basis and possibility of establishment of a Yugoslav state, it still, in a cultural and national-political view, stayed Pan-Serb.^[11]
