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 &ndash; 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 &ndash; 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. ==Rulers (1910-1918)== *[[Nicholas I of Montenegro]], king from 1910 to 1918 ===Titular Rulers (1918-Present)=== *[[Nicholas I of Montenegro]] ([[1918]] - [[1921]]) *[[Danilo, Crown Prince of Montenegro]] (Danilo III) ([[1921]]) *[[Michael, Prince of Montenegro]] (Michael I) ([[1921]] - [[1986]]) *HRH [[Nicholas, Prince of Montenegro|Prince Nicholas of Montenegro]] (Nikola II) ([[1986]] - Present) **(Heir Apparent) Prince [[Boris, Hereditary Prince of Montenegro|Boris of Montenegro]] (born [[1980]]) ==Prime ministers== *Lazar Tomanovic (1910-1912) *Mitar Martinovic (1912-1913) *Janko Vukotic (1913-1915) *Milo Matanovic (1915-1916) ===Prime ministers-in-exile=== *Lazar Mijuskovic (1916) *Andrija Radovic (1916-1917) *Milo Matanovic (1917) *Evgenije Popovic (1917-1919) *Jovan Plamenac (1919-1921) *Anto Gvozdenovic (1921-1922) *Milutin Vucinic (1922) *Anto Gvozdenovic (1922) ==See also== *[[History of Montenegro]] *[[Principality of Montenegro]] ==External links== *[http://www.terra.es/personal7/jqvaraderey/193818BK.GIF Kingdom of Montenegro in 1918] *[http://terkepek.adatbank.transindex.ro/kepek/netre/106.gif Map] *[http://terkepek.adatbank.transindex.ro/kepek/netre/330.gif Map] *[http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Montenegro.html Montenegro] - World Statesmen {{-}} {{Yug-timeline}} {{montenegro-stub}} [[Category:History of Montenegro]] [[Category:Former Slavic countries|Montenegro, Kingdom of]] [[es:Reino de Montenegro]] [[ko:몬테네그로 왕국]] [[hr:Kraljevina Crna Gora]] [[os:Черногорийы къаролад]] [[it:Regno del Montenegro]] [[mk:Краlstvo Црна Гора]] [[nl:Koninkrijk Montenegro]] [[pl:Królestwo Czarnogóry]] [[pt:Reino do Montenegro]] [[ru:Королевство Черногория]] [[sr:Краљевина Црна Гора]] [[tr:Karadağ Krallığı]]
