Principality of Serbia was founded at 1817. It wasn't independent state (Serbia belonged to Ottoman Empire in that period), but it was autonomous principality. After the Russian-Turkish War (1877-1878) Serbia became an independent country. At 1882 Serbia became the kingdom. Milan Obrenovich was the last Serbian prince (as Milan IV Obrenovich) and the first Serbian king (as Milan I Obrenovich). In 1889 he abdicated in favor of the son Alexander. So Alexander I became the new Serbian king. At June 11 1903 Alexander I and his wife queen Draga Obrenovich were murdered in their own palace. It was a terrible murder: they were cut by sabers.
After that murder Petar I became the new Serbian king. During his reign Serbia took part in the WW I as an ally of Entente. After the end of the WW I the Serbians annexed the kingdom of Montenegro and Peter I proclaimed himself as the king of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. And since the December 1 1918 until the 1929 it was the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. At last, in January 6 1929 the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was proclaimed. Alexander I became the first king of Yugoslavia.
