The Montenegrin–Ottoman War (1852–1853) (Template:Lang-sr) broke out after Ottoman retaliation for the Montenegrin secret aid to Herzegovinian rebels.

Background

In 1852, Danilo, returning from the Russian Empire, proclaimed himself Prince of Montenegro and the Hills, thus elevating the status of his polity from a theocracy into a principality. Montenegro remained an Ottoman vassal, until the Ottomans attacked Montenegro after the unraveling of Montenegrin secret aid to Herzegovinian rebels.

History

Omar Pasha and Osman Pasha of Scutari attacked Montenegro in November 1852.
