The First Serbian Uprising was a revolt against Ottoman rule in the Pashalik of Belgrade, led by Karadjordje Petrovic. It began as a reaction against the janissaries, who had seized power in the region and ruled it brutally, killing Serbian leaders. The rebels turned against the Ottoman government itself when it failed to restrain the janissaries, and won victories at Ivankovac and Misar, took Belgrade and set up the first institutions of a Serbian state. Russia gave support during its war with the Ottomans, but after the Treaty of Bucharest in 1812 withdrew, and the Ottomans reconquered the territory in 1813. A Second Serbian Uprising followed in 1815, under Milos Obrenovic, leading to autonomy and, eventually, independence.
