  2. Stages of The Revolution • First Stage-Napoleon invades Egypt in 1804, and for the Ottoman Empire to protect Egypt, they must strip Belgrade of its defenses. Janissaries fled into the area. • Second Stage- DjordjePetrovic comes to power. He refuses help from the Ottoman Empire. Military tacticians were replaced with loyalists, and so the Ottoman Empire took back Belgrade in 1813. • Second Revolution (Third Stage)-Milos gains power. Petrovic and Russia threaten an alliance with the pashalik of Serbia.

A settlement was formed that entailed: • Taxes would be clearly defined and collected by Serbian officials • Turkish and janissary rule would be confined • Serbian merchants could travel and trade freely in the Ottoman Empire. • Abused • The Turks abused the new set up so a more settlements were enacted • Serbs gained all power of: • The postal service • Internal Administration • The tax was replaced with a signal tribute to the sultan

  5. French Revolution vs. Serbian Revolution • Serbia • The style of government stayed fairly the same, a dictatorship • Tried to simply shift power of Serbia from a Muslim to Christian country • France • Had a larger transition of government at points from a monarchy to a more oligarchy style of rule • Tried to rid France of an overbearing religion on government Similarities-Things through the two revolutions were also similar. This included; both countries went through two government rulers that were not self proclaimed “kings,” outside governments played a role in the course of the revolutions, oppression through a tyrannical ruling system were both key in the revolutions, both revolutions original intents were not to destroy the system of government already employed in the country, economic and lavish spending of the ruler played a large contribution to the revolution, and both revolutions made key changes in the regard of their wishes, but neither obtain exactly what they wanted.
