The Serbian Free Corps ((ドイツ語:Serbische Freikorps)), known simply as ''frajkori'' (), was a volunteer militia composed of ethnic Serbs, established by the Habsburg Monarchy, to fight the Ottoman Empire during the Austro-Turkish War (1787–91). The rebellion in the Sanjak of Smederevo and militia's operations resulted in the Habsburg-occupied Serbia (1788–92). ==History== A Serbian ''freikorps'' of 5,000 soldiers had been established in Banat (Banat Military Frontier), composed of refugees that had fled earlier conflicts in the Ottoman Empire. The Corps would fight for liberation of Serbia and unification under Habsburg rule.〔 The main commander was the Austrian major Mihailo Mihaljević. There were several freikorps along the Habsburg-Ottoman frontier. Mihaljević's Free Corps, the most notable, was active from Šumadija to Podrinje, and across the Morava there was the Braničevo Free Corps; in Croatia the St. George Free Corps; in Bosnia they were called ''Seressaner''.〔 Other Serb militias were the Kozara Militia and Prosar Militia, established in Bosnia in 1788, composed of 1,000 soldiers each. Among volunteers were Aleksa Nenadović and Karađorđe Petrović, and the prominent Radič Petrović and most distinguished of all, Koča Anđelković. The Orthodox clergy in Serbia supported the rebellion. Koča's militia quickly took over Palanka and Batočina, attacked Kragujevac, and reached the Constantinople road, cutting off the Ottoman army from Sanjak of Niš and Sanjak of Vidin. The Austrians used the Corps in two failed attempts to seize Belgrade, in late 1787 and early 1788.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Serbian Free Corps」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
