Map of Serbia

The Ottoman Turks ruled what is now Serbia from the 15th to 19th centuries, and that is evident by some of the architecture and cultural influences that they left behind.

World War I was started after a Serb nationalist assassinated Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Czech Countess Sophie Chotek, in Sarajevo; then a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The disintegration of the Austo-Hungarian Empire towards the end of World War I inspired the South Slav independence movement.

King Alexander I of Serbia tried to rule the Land of South Slavs, but was himself assassinated, while in France on a diplomatic mission, by a Macedonian terrorist connected with Croatian separatist groups, in 1934.
