Through it's history, Serb people were allways faced with an overwhelming enemy and a dillema: bow their heads and surrender or fight the invader. They allways chose to fight! 1389 - The battle of Kosovo. The battle was fought on St. Vitus day and both sides suffered great losses. Tactically, battle was a draw, but strategically it was Turkish victory. 1804 - First Serbian Uprising. Serbia has been under Ottoman rule for 400 years. After "Slaughter of the knezes" Serbs revolted and uprising begun. After defeating one after another Turkish army the rebellion was crushed in 1813. 1815 - Second Serbian Uprising. After the defeat of the First Serbian Uprising, the Turks inflicted more persecution against the Serbs. In April 1815, Serbs decided upon a new revolt. 1914 - First World War. Austria declared war to Serbia. Although Serbia was ten times smaller then Habsburg empire, she won the first allied victory in the battle of Cer. After Bulgaria attacked Serbia from behind, Serbs withdraw to Greece. Serbia was occupied but Serbs did not want to surrender. In 1918 with the help of the allies Serbs broke through Solun front and knocked Bulgaria out of the war and in 45 days liberated Serbia. 1999 - NATO aggression. During the war against terrorists in Kosovo, Serbia recieved the ultimatum from NATO to withdraw its forces and allow NATO to establish its bases in Serbia. Serbia refused and in march of 1999 NATO started war against Serbia that would last for 78 days. Primary target was Serbian military, but when NATO saw it cannot do any damage to it, they started bombing civilian targets. There is many examples of so called "Serbian spite" when Serbs refused to listen to orders of foreign powers. And although there is only about 15 million of Serbs all over the world, this "spite" of ours is what makes us a smallest great nation in the world.
