TheSerbian Uprising of 1737–1739 was anuprising ofSerbs against theOttoman rule, that broke out in central regions ofOttoman Serbia during theHabsburg-Ottoman War (1737-1739). Following some initialHabsburg defeats during the early stages of the war, the emperorCharles VI issued various proclamations to theChristians in theBalkans, calling them to rise against the Ottomans. The emperor called on the Serbs, who were ready to revolt, on 15 June 1737, and stressed that they would fight in an alliance with Christian powers, theHabsburg Monarchy and theRussian Empire, against a common enemy. The Serbs responded by organizing themselves under Serbian PatriarchArsenije IV. The uprising had a wide geographical extent, fromBelgrade to easternBosnia,Montenegro and theŠar Mountain. The AlbanianKlimenti tribe also joined the uprising. The failed war prompted Serbs, mostly fromHerzegovina,Raška,Metohija and Montenegro, to flee under the leadership of Arsenije IV from the Ottoman-held territories into the Habsburg monarchy, thus initiating theSecond Great Migration of the Serbs.[1]
During the initial stages of the war, Serbian Patriarch Arsenije IV negotiated with the Austrian government through the bishop of Temeschwar, Nikola Dimitrijević. Arsenije promised that the people would revolt and help the Austrian army with food.[2]
The tribes inBrda, under the leadership ofRadonja Petrović, would ready 500 armed men ofKuči, vojvoda Vuksan Vojvodić ofVasojevići 200, vojvoda Toško ofPiperi 200, etc.[3]
The Serbian Patriarch and Radonja called on MetropolitanSava Petrović to join the war against the Ottomans, but he was under the influence of theRepublic of Venice, and stayed inactive during the war.[4]
TheSerbian Militia operated mostly in central Serbia.
TheToplica region and Niš were liberated.[when?][8]
Radonja requested from the Austrianfeltmarschal that in case the rebels won, they would continue in his service. When talks were underway, an uprising broke out in Montenegro.[9] Radonja's rebels and Serbian troops, and an auxiliary force of Staniša Marković-Mlatišuma, attacked the local Muslims.[10] According to the Serbian plan, they were to take overNovi Pazar,Rožaje,Bijelo Polje andPeć.[10] A Serbian detachment attackedBihor, and penetrated toGodijevo, where they set up a headquarters in the house of Mustafa Sijarić.[10] Radonja heard that the Ottomans would in their future actions first attack Župljani, which had already crossed to the Venetian side.[11] At the same time, Radonja informed Cattaro intendant Jerolim Buća thatDerviš-paša Čengić was ordered to turn with his army from theSanjak of Herzegovina towardsKnin, which they were to attack; and that vezir-Mustafa-paša with the armies of other sanjaks and 4,000 Tatars, as was planned, turn in the direction ofZadar.[11] That information was likely exaggerated.[11]
The failed war prompted Serbs, mostly fromHerzegovina,Sandžak,Metohija and Montenegro, to flee under the leadership of Arsenije IV from the Ottoman territories into the Habsburg monarchy (as was done in 1689–92).[12] The Austrian government had encouraged the Serbs to settle Habsburg territories.
