Next, I will work with Crown Prince Alexandrovich, the heir to the Tsarist Russian Empire, who will soon become the Emperor of the Tsarist Russian Empire, to jointly safeguard the overall peace of Europe and the world.
I forgot to tell you that Alexandrovich is not only my fourth cousin, he is also my brother-in-law.

The King of Serbia was right.

In 1459, Serbia was conquered by the powerful Ottoman Empire and became a province of the Ottoman Empire.

During the Ottoman Turkish occupation, due to different religious beliefs, the Balkan Peninsula was never really conquered by the Muslims of the Ottoman Empire. After the early 19th century, the industrialization era entered, the Ottoman Turkey gradually declined, and the Serbs finally With the support of the Tsarist Russian Empire, which also belonged to the Slavs, the revolution was launched, and in 1830 it was recognized by the Ottoman Empire government. The Principality of Serbia became independent, although the principality only consisted of Belgrade at the time.

Readers may have thought that the information that Belgium also became independent from the Netherlands in 1830 is good for the table.

When the Dutch allies finally supported Belgium's independence from the Netherlands, it was actually the result of the deal.
