Abstract:Those first to settle in Serbia located in the Middle of Balkan Peninsula were Illyrian and Thracian herdsmen. The region became the dominion of Rome, Goths, Huns, Avar, Bulgarians, and Byzantines and Serbs settled in these lands in the VIIth century. The Serbs who escaped the domination of the Byzantines in XIIth century established an independent state. Serbia becoming to be dominated by the Ottomans as the Ottomans brought an end to the Serbian Despotism in 1459, revolted against the Ottoman State with the Serbian Insurrection of 1830. In Serbia which was an autonomous princedom under the Ottoman State in 1830, Milos Obrenovich, Mihail Obrenovich, Alexander Karacorcevich and Milan Obrenovich acted respectively as prince until the independency achieved in 1878. During the period of Milos Obrenovich who was famous with his identity as politician, the borders of the Serbian princedom were enlarged. During the period of Alexander Karacorcevich, Serbia came to be protected by the European States with the Paris Treaty of 1856. During the period of Mihail Obrenovich, the Ottoman State withdrew from Serbia partially in 1862 and fully in 1867. During the period of Milan Obrenovich, Serbia declared war on the Ottoman State and it was defeated. In the later years, during the Ottoman-Russian War of 1877-1878, it declared war on the Ottoman State once again by standing on the side of Russia. Serbia, which had been endeavoring to fully break its ties with the Ottoman State and become independent since its autonomy, achieved its goal with the Treaty of Berlin signed as a result of Ottoman-Russian War of 1877-1878. Serbia became independent with the Treaty of Berlin dated 13 July 1878
