Liberation of Belgrade (1807) was an important event to have a major city as the center of a reestablished state during the Serbian Revolution from 1804 to 1813.[1]
From the end of 1806 to early 1807 Serb rebels captured the last Turkish fortresses on Serb territory - Belgrade and Šabac. Thanks to the successes of Russian arms and Russian aid the Serb rebels were able to renounce the so-called "Ičko Peace" which they had concluded with the Turkish government in the summer of 1806 (Petar Ičko was the Serb negotiator sent to Constantinople), and which planned for an autonomous Serbia. Instead, they were able to push forward a program for its full independence. In 1809-12 at battles at Brza Palanka, Kladovo (1809), Yasikaja on Varvara Field, Loznica (1810), and others, the rebels along with Russian forces achieved victory over a common enemy. A large role in this was played by the military and diplomatic skill of the commander-in-chief of the Army of Moldavia, M. I. Kutuzov. At his insistence, the Bucharest Peace Treaty (1812)|Bucharest Peace Treaty of 1812 included Article 8 granting Serbia internal self-government. However, after Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812, the situation changed sharply. Turkey sent three armies into Serbia which destroyed the rebel forces and re-established the sultan's power and the Turkish feudal land ownership which had disappeared during the course of the rebellion.
