[edit] History

The Kingdom of Montenegro was proclaimed by Knjaz Nikola in Cetinje, on 28 August 1910.

The Balkan Wars (1912 – 1913) turned out to be the beginning of the king's undoing. Montenegro did make further territorial gains by splitting up Sandžak with Serbia on 30 May 1913. However, the critics would say, by doing this he tried to bite off more than he could chew, incorporating a large population that did not feel any allegiance to his country.

In addition, the newly-captured city of Skadar had to be given up to the new state of Albania at the insistence of the Great Powers despite the Montenegrins having invested 10,000 lives into the capture of the town from the Ottoman (Albanian) forces of Esad Pasha.

During World War I (1914 – 1918) Montenegro was allied with the Allied Powers. From 15 January 1916 to October of 1918, Montenegro was occupied by its enemy, Austria-Hungary.

On 20 July 1917, the Corfu Declaration was signed; it declared the unification of Montenegro with Serbia. On 26 November 1918, Montenegrin unification with Serbia was proclaimed. Knez Nicholas was a staunch supporter of unification with Serbia to form a great Serbian state for all Serbs but was in conflict with King Alexander who was the ruler of Serbia. The disagreement was on who would be the ruler of the new kingdom. Knez Nicholas was eventually dethroned and exiled.
