The Montenegrin–Ottoman War (1852–1853) (Serbian: Црногорско-турски рат (1852-1853)/Crnogorsko-turski rat) broke out after Ottoman retaliation for the Montenegrin secret aid to Herzegovinian rebels.

Background[]

In 1852, Metropolitan Danilo II, returning from the Russian Empire, proclaimed himself Prince of Montenegro and the Hills, thus elevating the status of his polity from a theocracy into a principality. Montenegro remained an Ottoman vassal, until the Ottomans attacked Montenegro after the unraveling of Montenegrin secret aid to Herzegovinian rebels.

History[]

Omar Pasha and Osman Pasha of Scutari attacked Montenegro in November 1852.

Aftermath and legacy[]

• Battle of Grahovac
• Convention of Shkodër
