The history of outside rule in the Balkans, particularly the Ottoman Empire and later Austro-Hungarian control, fostered a strong sense of national identity among Serbs. Oppression and cultural suppression under these regimes galvanized nationalist sentiments, leading to a desire for self-determination. The struggle for independence was fueled by the desire to reclaim cultural heritage and political autonomy, culminating in uprisings and wars that aimed to establish a sovereign Serbian state. This quest for independence was deeply rooted in a collective memory of resistance against foreign domination.
