History of Pozarevac

rt of the Habsburg Kingdom of Serbia(from 1718 to 1739). Since 1739, the town was again under Ottoman control. During the First Serbian Uprising (1804-1813), the town was part of the Karađorđe's Serbia. After the end of the uprising in 1813, the town briefly came again under direct Ottoman control, but, following the Second Serbian Uprising from 1815, the town became part of the autonomous Ottoman Principality of Serbia. Požarevac was the second capital of Serbian prince MilošObrenović and the first regular state court in Serbia was established in this town in 1821. Since 1878, Požarevac was part of the independent Principality of Serbia and since 1882 part of the Kingdom of Serbia.

Since 1918, the town was part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (renamed to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929), while during Axis occupation of Yugoslavia, from 1941 to 1944, it was part of the German-occupied puppet state of Serbia. Since 1944, Požarevac was part of new socialist Serbia within socialist Yugoslavia. Since 1992, the town was part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (renamed to Serbia and Montenegro in 2003), and since 2006, it is part of an independent Republic of Serbia
