Bosnian Kingdom

This article is about the nation deeper explored, changed, and managed by GnochiMapper (formerly known by nickname TrollingDanger12), originally made by YugoslavMapper. For other uses, see Bosnian Kingdom (disambiguation).
The Bosnian Kingdom (Bosnian: Bosansko Kraljevstvo), formally known as the Great Bosnian Kingdom, is a constitutional monarchy located in Southeastern Europe, along the Adriatic Coast. The kingdom encompasses the modern regions of Bosnia, Herzegovina, Dalmatia, and Sandžak. Covering an estimated area of 78,374 square kilometers (48,699 square miles), it ranks as the 15th largest nation in the European Union, the 23rd largest in Europe, and the 116th largest globally, just behind the Czech Republic in all these categories. The Bosnian Kingdom shares borders with Croatia to the north, Serbia and Montenegro to the east, and a 33.53-kilometer border with Albania to the south. Sarajevo, the nation's capital and largest city, is home to approximately 1.08 million people within its administrative boundaries. Bosnia's population has steadily increased over the years, particularly after joining the EU in 1978. As of 2016, Bosnia's population is around 12.6 million, making it the 12th most populous nation in Europe, the 8th in the EU (just behind the Netherlands in both cases), and the 79th most populous country in the world, falling behind Benin.
==History==
===The Banate===
The Bosnians go back to the 10th centuary, when we know writtenere writen about in Constantine VII work for his son De Administrando Imperio. Bosnia, along with other territories, became part of Duklja in the 11th century, although it retained its own nobility and institutions. 
In the High Middle Ages, political circumstance led to the area being contested between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Byzantine Empire. Following another shift of power between the two in the early 12th century, Bosnia found itself outside the control of both and emerged as the Banate of Bosnia (under the rule of local bans). The first Bosnian ban known by name was Ban Borić. The second was Ban Kulin, whose rule marked the start of a controversy involving the Bosnian Church – considered heretical by the Roman Catholic Church. In response to Hungarian attempts to use church politics regarding the issue as a way to reclaim sovereignty over Bosnia, Kulin held a council of local church leaders to renounce the heresy and embraced Catholicism in 1203. Despite this, Hungarian ambitions remained unchanged long after Kulin's death in 1204, waning only after an unsuccessful invasion in 1254. During this time, the population was called Dobri Bošnjani ("Good Bosnians"). The names Serb and Croat, though occasionally appearing in peripheral areas, were not used in Bosnia proper.
Bosnian history from then until the early 14th century was marked by a power struggle between the Šubić and Kotromanić families. This conflict came to an end in 1322, when Stephen II Kotromanić became Ban. By the time of his death in 1353, he was successful in annexing territories to the north and west, as well as Zahumlje and parts of Dalmatia. He was succeeded by his ambitious nephew Tvrtko who, following a prolonged struggle with nobility and inter-family strife, gained full control of the country in 1367. By the year 1377, Bosnia was elevated into a kingdom with the coronation of Tvrtko as the first Bosnian King in Mile near Visoko in the Bosnian heartland.
===The 1st Kingdom===
Following his death in 1391 however, Bosnia fell into a long period of decline. The Ottoman Empire had started its conquest of Europe and posed a major threat to the Balkans throughout the first half of the 15th century. Finally, after decades of political and social instability, the Kingdom of Bosnia ceased to exist in 1463 after its conquest by the Ottoman Empire.
===Under the Ottoman Empire===
The Ottoman conquest of Bosnia marked a new era in the country's history and introduced drastic changes in the political and cultural landscape. The Ottomans incorporated Bosnia as an integral province of the Ottoman Empire with its historical name and territorial integrity.
Within Bosnia, the Ottomans introduced a number of key changes in the territory's socio-political administration; including a new landholding system, a reorganization of administrative units, and a complex system of social differentiation by class and religious affiliation.
The four centuries of Ottoman rule also had a drastic impact on Bosnia's population mmakeup which changed several times as a result of the empire's conquests, frequent wars with European powers, forced and economic migrations, and epidemics. A native Slavic-speaking Muslim community emerged and eventually became the largest of the ethno-religious groups due to lack of strong Christian church organizations and continuous rivalry between the Orthodox and Catholic churches, while the indigenous Bosnian Church disappeared altogether (ostensibly by conversion of its members to Islam). The Ottomans referred to them as kristianlar while the Orthodox and Catholics were called gebir or kafir, meaning "unbeliever". The Bosnian Franciscans (and the Catholic population as a whole) were protected by official imperial decrees and by and full extent of Ottoman laws; however, in effect, these often merely affected arbitrary rule and behavior of powerful local elite.
As the Ottoman Empire continued their rule in the Balkans (Rumelia), Bosnia was somewhat relieved of the pressures of being a frontier province, and experienced a period of general welfare. A number of cities, such as Sarajevo and Mostar, were established and grew into regional centers of trade and urban culture and were then visited by Ottoman traveler Evliya Çelebi in 1648. Within these cities, various Ottoman Sultans financed the construction of many works of Bosnian architecture such as the country's first library in Sarajevo, madrassas, a school of Sufi philosophy, and a clock tower (Sahat Kula), bridges such as the Stari Most, the Emperor's Mosque and the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque.
Furthermore, several Bosnian Muslims played influential roles in the Ottoman Empire's cultural and political history during this time. Bosnian recruits formed a large component of the Ottoman ranks in the battles of Mohács and Krbava field, while numerous other Bosnians rose through the ranks of the Ottoman military to occupy the highest positions of power in the Empire, including admirals such as Matrakçı Nasuh; generals such as Isa-Beg Ishaković, Gazi Husrev-beg, Telli Hasan Pasha and Sarı Süleyman Pasha; administrators such as Ferhad Pasha Sokolović and Osman Gradaščević; and Grand Viziers such as the influential Sokollu Mehmed Pasha and Damat Ibrahim Pasha. Some Bosnians emerged as Sufi mystics, scholars such as Muhamed Hevaji Uskufi Bosnevi, Ali Džabić; and poets in the Turkish, Albanian, Arabic, and Persian languages.
However, by the late 17th century the Empire's military misfortunes caught up with the country, and the end of the Great Turkish War with the treaty of Karlowitz in 1699 again made Bosnia the Empire's westernmost province. The 18th century was marked by further military failures, numerous revolts within Bosnia, and several outbreaks of plague.
The Porte's efforts at modernizing the Ottoman state were met with distrust growing to hostility in Bosnia, where local aristocrats stood to lose much through the proposed Tanzimat reforms.
===The Great Bosnian Revolt===
The frustrations over territorial and political concessions, combined with the plight of Slavic Muslim refugees from the Sanjak of Smederevo, led to a successful revolt by Husein Gradaščević. He advocated for an autonomous Bosnia Eyalet. With Russia's endorsement, Bosnia declared independence, with Mostar initially serving as the capital before it was moved to the larger city of Sarajevo. Husein Gradaščević, known as the Dragon of Bosnia, was proclaimed king, establishing the Gradaščević dynasty. Russia economically supported Bosnia for five years, helping it become self-sustaining. The Treaty of Sarajevo in 1834 officially recognized Bosnia's independence.
===A New, Independent Era under Husein Gradaščević===
Under Husein Gradaščević's leadership, Bosnia began assisting Serbia in its quest for independence with Russian support. In 1847, Bosnia started negotiations with Austria to purchase Dalmatia. After months of negotiation, Bosnia acquired Dalmatia in 1848 for 650,000 Austrian Florins. Husein Gradaščević initiated the development of Dalmatia, building many mosques and promoting Islam. He died in 1854, and his nephew, Muhammad Gradaščević, succeeded him.
=== Quiet Era===
The period from 1854 to 1901 was marked by peace and development. Bosnia assisted Serbia and Montenegro in gaining independence in 1878 and formed the Balkan Economic Area alliance in 1880. Greece joined the alliance in 1882. Bosnia and Serbia, in collaboration with Austria-Hungary, funded a railway completed in 1892. Muhammad Gradaščević's reign was relatively uneventful, except for the completion of the Husein-beg Gradaščević Mosque in Split. He died in 1901.
===Era of Constant Rebuilding===
Mustajbeg Gradaščević ascended to the throne in 1901, marking the beginning of a long and eventful reign. The early 20th century was a time of relative peace, but tensions within the Balkan Economic Area were rising. These tensions culminated in the First Balkan War of 1912, where the Balkan League (comprising Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Greece) fought against the Ottoman Empire to free the remaining Balkan territories from Ottoman control. The war ended with the Balkan League's victory, leading to the independence of Bulgaria and the formation of Albania.
However, disputes over the division of territories, particularly Macedonia, led to the Second Balkan War in 1913. This conflict saw Bulgaria turn against its former allies. Bosnia, alongside Serbia, Greece, and the newly independent Albania and Romania, fought against Bulgaria. The war ended with a decisive victory for the Balkan League, and Bulgaria lost significant territory, including its Aegean Sea coastline.
As World War I broke out in 1914, Bosnia initially remained neutral, given its strategic alliances and historical connections to both the Central Powers and the Allies. However, by 1916, Bosnia and Greece decided to support the Allies. Bosnian troops played crucial roles in liberating Albania and Montenegro from Central Powers' control. By 1917, with the support of British forces, they succeeded in decimating Bulgarian forces and repelling the Ottomans.
In 1918, the combined efforts of the Balkan forces, the British, the French, and the Americans led to the downfall of the Central Powers. The Treaty of Versailles granted Bosnia additional territories in Dalmatia, while Serbia gained Vojvodina. The aftermath of the war saw Bosnia grappling with the Spanish Flu pandemic, which claimed 290,000 lives.
The interwar period was a time of reconstruction and development. Despite the devastating impact of the Spanish Flu, Bosnia focused on rebuilding its economy and infrastructure. The Roaring Twenties brought cultural and economic growth. However, the Wall Street Crash of 1929 ushered in the Great Depression, posing significant challenges. King Mustajbeg's policies to promote domestic production helped the nation recover more swiftly than its neighbors. By 1936, Bosnia had largely stabilized economically, although the scars of the Depression remained.
World War II brought further turmoil. In 1939, Germany invaded Poland, triggering a global conflict. By 1941, Germany had annexed Austria, invaded France, and established control over much of Europe. In 1942, the Third Reich orchestrated a coup in Bosnia, overthrowing King Mustajbeg and establishing the Independent State of Bosnia. The new regime aligned closely with Nazi Germany, merging parts of Bosnia with Hungary and Italy.
Mustajbeg organized an underground resistance movement known as the Dragons of Bosnia. The resistance gained significant support from the Bosnian populace, leading to notable victories such as the Battles of Sutjeska and Neretva. By 1944, the resistance, bolstered by Soviet support, launched a decisive campaign culminating in the Battle of Bobovac. The final liberation came with the Battle of Jajce in 1945, which saw the defeat of German forces in Bosnia. Mustajbeg was reinstated as king, but the struggle had taken a heavy toll on the nation.
===The Cold War===
Following Mustajbeg's death in 1952, Muhammad Bego Gradašević ascended to the throne. His reign began with a two-year communist revolution in the western part of Bosnia. The revolution halted many national activities, including sports events, but ultimately, the monarchy emerged victorious. The post-revolution period saw significant constitutional reforms, solidifying Bosnia as a constitutional monarchy.
Bosnia's involvement in international conflicts continued during the Cold War. The nation participated in the Korean War (1952-1953) as part of the United Nations coalition and supported South Vietnam during the Vietnam War (1969-1975). These engagements underscored Bosnia's commitment to global peace and stability, despite the tensions of the Cold War era.
The following decades witnessed significant economic and cultural growth. By the 1970s, Bosnia had become a notable player in the European economy. Negotiations to join the European Economic Area (EEA) began in 1976, culminating in Bosnia's membership in 1978. This integration spurred further economic development and modernization.
The collapse of communist regimes across Eastern Europe in the early 1990s marked a pivotal moment for Bosnia. Alija Izetbegović, then Prime Minister, played a crucial role in navigating this transition. He was instrumental in re-establishing the Balkan Union in 1994 and fostering economic cooperation in the region. Bosnia's integration into the European Union in 1993 further solidified its position as a stable and prosperous nation.
===The Modern Era===
The end of the Cold War brought new challenges and opportunities for Bosnia. The September 11th attacks in 2001 had minimal direct impact on Bosnia, but the global War on Terrorism influenced national security policies. Alija Izetbegović's son, Bakir Izetbegović, became Prime Minister in 2012, continuing his father's legacy of economic development and regional cooperation.
In 2018, Muhammad Bego Gradaščević II succeeded his father as king. Under his reign, Bosnia has continued to strengthen its political stability, economic growth, and international relationships. The nation remains an active member of the European Union and maintains close ties with neighboring countries. Modern Bosnia is characterized by its commitment to progress, cultural enrichment, and a robust economy.

===Population Graph Growth===
The Population of the Bosnian Kingdom has always been very flexible. The biggest Growth the nation has seen was after buying Dalmatia, after the Balkan Economic Area was formed, during the Roaring '20s, after WW2 and after joining the EEA. Here is a Population Growth Graph, showing this:

==Government==
The Bosnian Kingdom has a goverment based on 6 tiers of power, pictured on the right-hand side.
At the lowest level are the Municipal Councils and Mayors. Municipal Councils consist of 15 members elected every five years. The Mayor, also elected every five years, acts as the executive authority of the municipality. There are approximately 300 municipalities. These local governments manage community services, local infrastructure, and development projects, and can propose local ordinances, subject to approval by higher authorities.
Larger cities have City Councils and Mayors. City Councils, composed of 45 members elected every five years, hold more authority than municipal bodies and can veto municipal laws. These councils manage urban planning, public transportation, and city-wide services. Cities with City Councils also have Municipal Councils for local districts within the city.
Sub-regions are governed by Sub-Regional Councils, which are significant in their power and responsibility. Each sub-region has a council of 50 members elected every four years. These councils oversee education, healthcare, and regional infrastructure projects. They can veto laws from Municipal and City Councils within their jurisdiction.
The five regions of Bosnia have Regional Parliaments, each with 75 members elected every five years. Regional Parliaments are independent entities that propose legislation to the National Assembly of Law and oversee large-scale regional issues such as transportation networks and economic policies. They have the power to veto decisions made by sub-regional bodies.
The Prime Minister is the head of government, responsible for national administration and foreign policy. Elected by the National Assembly and typically the leader of the majority party, the Prime Minister can veto laws passed by Regional Parliaments and oversees the implementation of national legislation. The current Prime Minister, Bakir Izetbegović, has been in office since 2008, winning four consecutive elections.
This is the legislative body at the national level, composed of representatives from the Regional Parliaments. It debates and passes national laws, budgets, and international treaties. The Assembly's decisions can be vetoed by the King or the Prime Minister.
As the head of state, the King holds a ceremonial role with significant symbolic power and limited direct political influence. The King's duties include representing Bosnia in diplomatic matters, ratifying laws passed by the National Assembly, and ensuring the continuity of the state. The monarchy transitioned from absolute to constitutional after the Revolution, creating a balanced power dynamic with the Prime Minister. This is the list of kings:

====Sport====
There are four main sports competitions in the Bosnian Kingdom: Bosnian Premier League, The BBA (Bosnian Basketball Asscociation), Bosnian Volleyball League and the Bosnian National Tennis League. The most influential and most popular of the competitions is the Bosnian Premier League, so it will be the only one covered here. 
=====Football=====
Main article: History of Football in the Bosnian KingdomThe Bosnian FA, officialy known as the Bosnian Football Association, or Bosnanska Fudbalsko-Nogometna Asocijacija, is the official bosnian football association.
It hosts the league, the cup and the league cup and supercup, as well as funding the very succesful Bosnian National Team. 
History
The first Bosnian football league hierarchy was established in 1924, a year after the national team's founding, featuring 2 professional leagues alongside many amateur leagues. The inaugural first division included founding clubs like Posušje, Leotar Trebinje, Olimpik Sarajevo, Čelik Zenica, Hajduk Split, FK Tuzla (now Sloboda Tuzla), Rudarski Klub Kakanj (now Rudar Kakanj), and NK Zadar. 
This league ran for 18 seasons until May 1942 when it was briefly suspended due to a coup, resuming in December 1942 as the Greater Bosnia League. Many clubs boycotted and reverted to amateur status, except those co-opted by the fascist regime, such as NK Travnik. The league continued for 2 full seasons until the end of World War II in Europe.
Post-war, Bosnian football largely transitioned to amateur status, with only a few exceptions like government-owned NK Travnik and Italian-owned FK Sarajevo. Competitive club events were sparse from 1945 to 1952, with sporadic professional and amateur competitions.
In 1952, King Muhammad Bego Gradaščević aimed to forge a unified Bosnian identity among Croats, Dalmatians, Serbs, and Muslims, emphasizing sports as a means of national cohesion. Bosnia, previously competing with varying success in the Olympics, focused on the '52 Games, achieving notable success. Recognizing the potential, investors entered the scene, acquiring Bosnian amateur clubs; for instance, Željezničar was purchased for 310,000 pounds by American tycoon Jacob Blaustein in 1953.
Football rapidly developed, leading the 10 founding professional clubs — NK Travnik, FK Sarajevo, Hajduk Split, FK Željezničar Sarajevo, Velež Mostar, GOŠK Dubrovnik, Zrinjski Mostar, NK Široki Brijeg, Jedinstvo Bihać, and Budućnost Podgorica — to establish the Bosnian National Football Association (BNFA) in 1956. As the number of professional clubs grew, the BNFA Premier Division was formed in April 1958, featuring the original 10 clubs, alongside the Second Division for additional 12 clubs. Competition commenced in October 1958, with plans for further divisions to accommodate more professional clubs, alongside a unified cup involving amateur and professional teams.
The inaugural season concluded with NK Travnik clinching the league and cup titles. Relegation saw Široki Brijeg demoted, while Leoatar Trebinje was promoted. During the summer break between the 1958/59 and 1959/60 seasons, two significant events occurred: legendary Swedish footballer Gunnar Gren signed a record-breaking deal with NK Travnik for 100,000 British pounds, and the first BNFA Super Cup match was contested, with NK Travnik triumphing 4-1 over Željezničar, aided by Gren's hat-trick at age 39. NK Travnik qualified for the European Cup.
Subsequent seasons witnessed continued growth: unbeaten league victories for Travnik and Željo, expansions in division sizes, and the introduction of the League Cup in 1963/64. Željezničar's dominance in the 1960s saw them clinch multiple titles and achieve European success, including a notable victory in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.
The 1970s saw varying success for Bosnian clubs in Europe until NK Zadar's surprise league win in 1978/79 revived local interest. This was catalyzed further by FK Sarajevo and FK Čelik Zenica's notable European Cup performances, culminating in an epic semifinal encounter that galvanized Bosnian football, drawing record crowds and television audiences.
The 1980s marked Željezničar's golden era in Bosnian football, dominating the league with six first division titles between 1982 and 1991. They amassed a total of 18 trophies from 1980 to 2000, solidifying their status as a powerhouse in Bosnian football. This period also saw Bosna Visoko and founder Rudar Kakanj clinch League Cup victories, further highlighting the competitive depth in Bosnian football.
Hajduk Split achieved historic European success in 1986 by winning the UEFA Cup, marking the first major European trophy for a Bosnian club. They overcame Real Madrid with a memorable comeback, losing the first leg 2-0 and winning the second leg 3-0 at the Poljud Arena, etching their name in European football history.
In 1987/88, the first division expanded from 16 to 18 teams, coinciding with Željezničar's dominant four-peat of league titles. This era showcased the club's sustained excellence and cemented their place as one of the most successful clubs in Bosnian football history.
The 1990s continued to see Željezničar's prowess, exemplified by their undefeated league victory in 1990/91, coupled with cup and league cup triumphs, along with a supercup win at the season's outset. Their crowning achievement came in European competition as they reached and won the European Cup final, defeating AC Milan on penalties. This historic victory marked Željezničar as the first team ever to achieve the fivetuple and later the sextuple after securing the European Supercup.
By the end of the century, Bosna Visoko claimed the league title in 1995/96, followed by Jedinstvo Bihać in 1998/99 and Čelik Zenica in 1999/00, highlighting the competitive balance and diversity in league champions during this period.
Entering the 2000s, Hajduk Split emerged as a dominant force in Bosnian football, capturing 14 league titles between 2000 and 2010, including a memorable quadruple in 2006/07. Their consistent success underscored their status as one of the country's premier clubs and continued to raise Bosnia's profile in European competitions.
In 2004/05, Sarajevo made history by winning the UEFA Cup, defeating Sporting Portugal 2-1 in a thrilling final. This victory marked another milestone for Bosnian football on the international stage and solidified Sarajevo's reputation as a formidable European contender.
The 2010s witnessed diverse league champions and memorable European campaigns. The 2010/11 season saw third division team Rudar Breza create history by winning the League Cup against Bosna Visoko 1-0, highlighting the unpredictable and competitive nature of Bosnian football.
In recent years, Bosnian clubs continued to make strides in European competitions. Notably, Čelik Zenica reached the Quarter Finals of the 2019/20 Champions League, showcasing their resilience and competitive spirit on the continental stage. Zrinjski Mostar's invincible league campaign in 2021/22 further solidified their dominance domestically, setting the stage for continued success and growth in Bosnian football.
BFNA Premijer Divizija (Bosanska Fudbalsko-Nogometna Asocijacija Premijer Divizija)
The BFNA Premier Division, also known as the BFNA Premijer Divizija, stands as the pinnacle of Bosnian football. The league champion earns direct qualification to the UEFA Champions League. 
Second place secures a spot in the third qualifying round of the Champions League. Third place earns qualification to the Main Path of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League, while fourth place qualifies for the Main Path of the second qualifying round of the Europa Conference League. The winner of the Bosnian National Cup enters the Europa League playoffs.
Historically, Željezničar Sarajevo claimed the Champions League title in 1991, with Hajduk Split winning the UEFA Cup (now Europa League) in 1987, and Sarajevo achieving UEFA Cup glory in 2005.
Here is the all of the winners of the Premier League, as well as the Supercup, Cup and League Cup winners:
