Between Abroad and the Kingdom of Serbia
With the return of King Milan to Serbia on January 21st, 1894, internal political relations were settled. Conspiracy related to Kraljevo industrialist Mihailo Čebinac, as well as the coup d’état of the young Alexander Obrenović on May 21st, which abolished the Constitution of 1888 and restored the one of 1869, are part of this instability. The famous military doctor, politician, and diplomat Vladan Đorđević became the Prime Minister, and the former King Milan became the commander of the active army. The former king’s activities laid the foundation for the glorious Serbian victories in the Balkan Wars and the First World War.
Armistice Day in the First World War
On this day, November 11th, 1918, the armistice between the Allies and the German Empress was signed in the railway carriage of French Marshal Ferdinand Foch in the city of Compiègne. The capitulation of the German Empire ended the First World War, or the Great War, which brought, until then, unprecedented destruction and human sacrifice. This important day in Serbia is celebrated as a national holiday. Our city, Kraljevo, was under occupation by enemy troops from November 1915 until October 22nd, 1918, when the Serbian army entered at around 07:00 p.m., after crossing the Ibar.
