In 1808 a short-lived rebellion aimed at national and social liberation broke out in the Banat region in the Military Frontier of the Habsburg Monarchy, stirred by the First Serbian Uprising in the Sanjak of Smederevo of the Ottoman Empire.
 Led by Serbs and Romanians, it followed a short-lived Serb rebellion in Syrmia in 1807.
 The initiators were Orthodox priest Dimitrije Georgijević (or Đorđević) from Kruščica, former Free Corps members, captain Marijan Jovanović (or Josipović) and oberstlieutenant Pivu Žumanka (or Šumanka), and young lieutenant Toma Skripeće (or Stipeće).
 The organizers were in contact with the Serbian rebel leaders Milenko Stojković, Luka Lazarević and Petar Dobrnjac.
 The rebellion was planned in the Wallachian-Illyrian Regiment.
 The Serbs and Romanians each sought the liberation of their people.
 Dimitrije Georgijević repeated to his followers that the main goal was the restoration of the Serbian Empire.
The Serb uprising of 1848–49, also known as the Serb revolution of 1848–49, took place in what is today Vojvodina, Serbia, and was part of the Revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire.
 During the Hungarian Revolution, Hungarians achieved significant military successes, but were defeated after Russian intervention.
 Serbs led fierce battles against the Hungarians, with the help of volunteers from the Principality of Serbia.
 The outcome of the uprising was the establishment of Serbian Vojvodina (then Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar), a special autonomous region under the Austrian crown.
 However, the Voivodeship failed certain expectations that Serbian patriots had expressed at the May Assembly (1848).
 Serbs did not constitute an absolute majority of the population, while the administration was largely in the hands of German officials and officers.
 The Voivodeship was abolished in 1860, however, some rights were kept by the Serb community.
 The Serbian Patriarchate was renewed, while the uprising had increased national awareness of the Serb people north of the Sava and Danube in the struggle for freedom.
The Serb uprising of 1596–97 , also known as the Herzegovina uprising of 1596–97, was a rebellion organized by Serbian Patriarch Jovan Kantul (s. 1592–1614) and led by Grdan, the "vojvoda" ("duke") of Nikšić against the Ottomans in the Sanjak of Herzegovina and Montenegro Vilayet, during the Long Turkish War (1593–1606).
 The uprising broke out in the aftermath of the failed Banat Uprising in 1594 and the burning of Saint Sava's relics on April 27, 1595; it included the tribes of Bjelopavlići, Drobnjaci, Nikšić and Piva.
 The rebels, defeated at the field of Gacko (Gatačko Polje) in 1597, were forced to capitulate due to a lack of foreign support.
The Battle of Mohács (] ; Hungarian: "Mohácsi csata" , Turkish: "Mohaç Muharebesi" ) was one of the most consequential battles in Central European history.
 It was fought on 29 August 1526 near Mohács, Kingdom of Hungary, between the forces of the Kingdom of Hungary, led by Louis II, and those of the Ottoman Empire, led by Suleiman the Magnificent.
 The Ottoman victory led to the partition of Hungary for several centuries between the Ottoman Empire, the Habsburg Monarchy, and the Principality of Transylvania.
 Further, the death of Louis II as he fled the battle marked the end of the Jagiellon dynasty in Hungary and Bohemia, whose dynastic claims passed to the House of Habsburg.
Jovan Kantul (, 1592 – d. 1614), sometimes numbered Jovan II was the Archbishop of Peć and Serbian Patriarch, the spiritual leader of the Serbian Orthodox Church, from 1592 until his death in 1614.
 He planned a major revolt in the Ottoman Balkans, with Grdan, the vojvoda of Nikšić, asking the pope for aid (see Serb Uprising of 1596–97).
 Owing to his activities for planning a Serbian revolt, he was arrested and put on trial in Istanbul in 1612.
 He was found guilty of treason and was executed two years later (1614).
The Long Turkish War or Thirteen Years' War was an indecisive land war between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire, primarily over the Principalities of Wallachia, Transylvania and Moldavia.
 It was waged from 1593 to 1606 but in Europe is sometimes called the Fifteen Years War, reckoning from the 1591–92 Turkish campaign that captured Bihać.
Jovan Šević or Ivan Šević (Serbian: Јован Шевић , Russian: Иван Егорович Шевич ; died  1764 ) was an 18th-century military officer of Serb origin.
 He reached the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Serb militia forces in the Pomorišje region, then in the Military Frontier of the Habsburg Monarchy.
 When it became obvious that privileges granted to Serb militiamen would be reduced or completely revoked after Pomorišje and Potisje lost their frontier status, Šević left Habsburg military service in 1750 and moved to Russia.
 At the end of 1752, he led the second wave of colonists who migrated from Pomorišje, Potisje and Slavonia to the Russian Empire (modern-day Ukraine) where they settled the newly established administrative region of Slavo-Serbia at the beginning of 1753.
 To enable him to recruit more of his fellow officers, Šević was promoted to the rank of General by the Russian Empress, Elizabeth.
 He commanded a Serb Hussar Regiment consisting of the colonists he brought to Russia.
 After Šević's death, Slavo-Serbia was disestablished, and many of his descendants became notable military officers in the Russian Imperial Army.
 Over time, all the Serb colonists became assimilated.
 Miloš Crnjanski described the migration led by Šević in his most notable work, the novel "Migrations" (Serbian: Сеобе ).
Vostani Serbije ("Arise, Serbia"; ), also known as Pesna na insurekciju Serbijanov ("A poem on the insurrection of the Serbs"), is a Serbian patriotic song, originally a poem written by Dositej Obradović (1739–1811), published in Vienna in 1804, "dedicated to Serbia and her brave warriors and sons and to their leader Georgije Petrović" at the beginning of the First Serbian Uprising that transformed into the Serbian Revolution against the Ottoman Empire.
 Obradović, delighted, he happily and sincerely greeted the Serb uprising with this special, patriotic poem.
 Obradović extensively used the concept of "Mother Serbia" in his works, including this poem.
 Of his poems, "Vostani Serbije" is the most patriotic.
 In it, he calls on a new Serbia, with overtones of memory on the Serbian Empire which had been long gone.
 Obradović became the first Minister of Education of Revolutionary Serbia.
The Serb Uprising of 1737–39 broke out following Austria's defeats against the Ottomans, when the Austrian Emperor issued proclamations that the Christians in the Balkans rise against the Ottoman Empire.
 The Austrian Emperor called on the Serbs, who were ready to revolt, on 15 June 1737, and stressed that they would fight in an alliance with Russia against a common enemy.
 The Serbs organized themselves under Serbian Patriarch Arsenije IV.
 The uprising had a wide geographical extent, from Belgrade to eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and the Šar Mountain.
 The Albanian Klimenti tribe also joined the uprising.
 The failed war prompted Serbs, mostly from Herzegovina, 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).
The Battle of Slunj (Croatian: "Bitka kod Slunja" ) was fought on 26 October 1584 between the Ottoman forces of the Bosnian Beglerbeg, Ferhad Pasha Sokolović, and Germanic and Croatian forces led by Jobst Joseph von Thurn and Thomas Erdődy, the Ban of Croatia, that ambushed the Ottoman army near the town of Slunj.
 The battle was a part of the Croatian–Ottoman wars and Ottoman–Habsburg wars between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg Monarchy.
 Ottoman troops were estimated at between 8-10,000 men, and the army of Thurn and Erdödy consisted of 1,330 cavalry and 700 infantry.
 The battle resulted in a crushing defeat for the Ottoman forces.
