  • Serbian nationalism is the ethnic nationalism of the Serb people. It has deep roots among the South-Slavic, Orthodox people of the Balkans, who are known as Serbs. It appeared in the Middle Ages during the long process of fall of Byzantine Empire, most notably at the Battle of Kosovo Polje of 1389, which ceded most of the old Serbian Kingdom to the Ottoman Empire. The renaissance of Serbian nationalism after three centuries of Ottoman control of the Balkans came at the time of the romantic-nationalist Revolutions of 1848 in Western Europe and the 19th-century expansion and rise of a great Slavic Orthodox power, the Russian Empire, which has designed itself as a protector (and later liberator) of Orthodox Christian peoples on Ottoman lands. At the turn of the 19th–20th centuries, many Serbian nationalist movements, such as Narodna Odbrana, Black Hand and Young Bosnia, were based more anti-imperialism and secular Pan-Slavism than any religious identity; they included both Orthodox and Muslims, such as Muhamed Mehmedbašić, in their membership. On the other side, the monarchist paramilitary movement Bela Ruka (created in 1912) had a more traditionalist approach, and by the 1920s its members became a prominent force in the First Yugoslavia after World War I. A more radical Serbian nationalism was put in practice for the first time during the early 1920s, under the Yugoslav premiership of Nikola Pašić. Using tactics of police intimidation and vote rigging, he repressed the oppositions (mainly those loyal to his Croatian rival, Stjepan Radić) to his government in parliament, centralizing power in the hands of the Serbian politicians. At the rise of Nazism and fascism in Europe and the outbreak of World War II, Yugoslavia faced its first dissolution, and for the first time the rise to power of anti-Serbian Yugoslav separatist forces in secessionist territories – the most successful being the fascist Independent State of Croatia, which persecuted Serbs, Jews and Roma people, most notably the massacres of Jasenovac) and forced conversion of Serbs to Catholicism (Bosnian Muslims were tolerated by the Catholic leadership for political reasons of that time).
