The Montenegrin–Ottoman War (1852–1853) (Serbian: Црногорско-турски рат, romanized: Crnogorsko-turski rat) broke out after Ottoman retaliation for the Montenegrin secret aid to Herzegovinian rebels.
Background

Montenegro remained an Ottoman vassal, until the Ottomans attacked Montenegro after the unraveling of Montenegrin secret aid to Herzegovinian rebels.
History
