The '''Kingdom of Montenegro''' ([[Serbian language|Serbian]]: Краљевина Црнa Горa or ''Kraljevina Crna Gora'') was a kingdom in southeastern Europe.
The capital of the kingdom was [[Cetinje]]. The currency of the Kingdom was the [[Montenegrin perper]]. It was a [[constitutional monarchy]], but [[Absolute monarchy|absolutist]] in practice.
==History==
[[Image:FlagRoyalMNE.gif|thumb|left|Royal Court Flag of the Kingdom of Montenegro]]
The Kingdom of Montenegro was proclaimed by [[Nicholas I of Montenegro|Knjaz Nikola]] in [[Cetinje]], on [[28 August]] [[1910]].
The [[Balkan Wars]] (1912 – 1913) turned out to be the beginning of the king's undoing. Montenegro did make further territorial gains by splitting up [[Sandžak]] with [[Serbia]] on [[30 May]] [[1913]]. However, the critics would say, by doing this he tried to bite off more than he could chew, incorporating a large population that did not feel any allegiance to his country.
In addition, the newly-captured city of [[Skadar]] had to be given up to the new state of [[Albania]] at the insistence of the [[Great Powers]] despite the Montenegrins having invested 10,000 lives into the capture of the town from the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] ([[Albania|Albanian]]) forces of [[Esad Pasha]].
During [[World War I]] (1914 – 1918) [[Montenegro]] was allied with the [[Allied Powers]]. From [[15 January]] [[1916]] to October of 1918, Montenegro was occupied by its enemy, [[Austria-Hungary]].
On [[20 July]] [[1917]], the [[Corfu Declaration]] was signed; it declared the unification of Montenegro with [[Serbia]]. On [[26 November]] [[1918]], Montenegrin unification with Serbia was proclaimed. [[Nicholas I of Montenegro|Knez Nicholas]] was a staunch supporter of unification with [[Serbia]] to form a great Serbian state for all [[Serbs]] but was in conflict with [[Alexander I of Yugoslavia|King Alexander]] who was the ruler of Serbia. The disagreement was on who would be the ruler of the new kingdom. [[Nicholas I of Montenegro|Knez Nicholas]] was eventually dethroned and exiled.
