Proclamation of the Kingdom of Montenegro,
Cetinje, August 28, 1910
The Kingdom of Montenegro (Serbian: Краљевина Црнa Горa, Kraljevina Crna Gora) was a kingdom in southeastern Europe.
The capital of the kingdom was Cetinje. The currency of the Kingdom was the Montenegrin perper. It was a constitutional monarchy, but absolutist in practice. Kingdoms of Serbia and Montenegro then joined the unitary Yugoslav kingdom in 1918 alongside former Habsburg lands.
[edit] History
The Kingdom of Montenegro was proclaimed by Knjaz Nikola in Cetinje, on 28 August 1910.
The Balkan Wars (1912 – 1913) turned out to be the beginning of the king's undoing. Montenegro did make further territorial gains by splitting Sandžak with Serbia on 30 May 1913. However, this proved to be harmful as it involved incorporating a territory in which the large part of the population did not feel any special allegiance to a Montenegrin entity. In addition, the newly-captured city of Skadar had to be given up to the new state of Albania at the insistence of the Great Powers despite the Montenegrins having invested 10,000 lives into the capture of the town from the Ottoman (Albanian) forces of Esad Pasha.
During World War I (1914 – 1918) Montenegro was allied with the Allied Powers. From 15 January 1916 to some time in October 1918, Montenegro was occupied by Austria-Hungary.
On 20 July 1917, the Corfu Declaration was signed; it declared the unification of Montenegro with Serbia. On 26 November 1918, Montenegrin unification with Serbia was proclaimed. Knez Nicholas was a staunch supporter of unification with Serbia to form a great Serbian state for all Serbs but was in conflict with King Alexander who was the ruler of Serbia. The disagreement was on who would be the ruler of the new kingdom. Knez Nicholas was eventually dethroned and exiled.
