Population of the Kingdom of Serbia 1834-1910

This statistic shows the total population of the Kingdom of Serbia from 1834 to 1910. In the early nineteenth century Serbia was under the control of the Ottoman Empire, and was granted de facto independence from the Ottomans in 1817 (although the Ottomans still occupied Belgrade until 1867). With the weakening of the Ottoman Empire in the 1800s, and the expansion of other European powers such as Austria and Russia, Serbia's borders changed frequently and over time it gained stability and international acceptance as a new independent state. The population given here is not of the modern-day area of Serbia, but rather the nineteenth century Kingdom of Serbia, which was significantly smaller.In 1834, the population of the Kingdom of Serbia was just 678 thousand people, although there were many ethnic Serbs living outside these borders under the rule of other kingdoms. The population then grew rather steadily to 1.35 million in 1874, before it grows to 1.9 million in 1884. This huge jump in the population is a result of the acquisition of new territory from the Ottomans, which added over 300,000 people to the Kingdom, and the new data also included military personnel, which was not included in the previous entries.From 1884 onwards the population continues to grow, and it reaches 2.9 million people by 1910, which is the final collection of data before the First World War. World War I began on July 28th 1914 when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia in retaliation for the assassination of Franz Ferdinand by a Bosnian Serb, Gavrilo Princip, in Sarajevo one month before. By the end of the war as many as 1.3 million Serbs died as a direct result of the conflict, which is the highest percentage of any overall population involved in the war, and almost sixty percent of all Serbian men died.

本统计数据显示了塞尔维亚王国自1834年至1910年的总人口。在十九世纪初，塞尔维亚处于奥斯曼帝国的统治之下，并于1817年获得实际上的独立（尽管奥斯曼帝国直至1867年仍占领贝尔格莱德）。随着奥斯曼帝国在19世纪中叶的衰落以及奥地利和俄罗斯等欧洲强权的扩张，塞尔维亚的边界频繁变动，随着时间的推移，它逐渐稳固并获得了作为新兴独立国家的国际认可。此处所列人口并非指现代塞尔维亚领土范围内的人口，而是指十九世纪的塞尔维亚王国，其面积显著较小。1834年，塞尔维亚王国的总人口仅为67.8万人，尽管在当时的边界之外，还有许多塞尔维亚族人在其他王国的统治下生活。此后，人口稳步增长，至1874年达到135万人，到1884年增至190万人。这一人口激增是由于从奥斯曼帝国夺取新领土，为王国增加了30余万人，新数据还包括了之前未计入的军事人员。从1884年起，人口持续增长，至1910年达到290万人，这是第一次世界大战爆发前的最后一次数据收集。1914年7月28日，第一次世界大战爆发，奥匈帝国对塞尔维亚宣战，以报复萨拉热窝事件中，波斯尼亚塞尔维亚族青年加夫里洛·普林西普刺杀弗朗茨·斐迪南大公的行为。战争结束时，多达130万塞尔维亚人因冲突直接丧生，这是参战各国中人口损失比例最高的，并且近六十万名塞尔维亚男性丧生。
