In 1804, an unlikely leader emerged from the forests of Šumadija to lead an uprising that would set Serbia on the path to independence from the Ottoman Empire. This episode explores the First Serbian Uprising under Karađorđe Petrović — a pig farmer turned revolutionary commander. We follow the key battles at Ivankovac, Mišar, and Deligrad, the initial successes that forced the Sultan to negotiate, and the devastating failure of 1813 when the Ottomans retook Belgrade. Along the way, we meet figures like Jakov Nenadović and the Dositej Obradović, and discuss the complex role of Russia, the Dahije (renegade Janissaries), and the fractured Serbian leadership that ultimately doomed the revolt. A story of courage, betrayal, and the bitter lesson that winning a war is not the same as securing a nation.
