The border of the sawn cultivated land had been pushed westwards under the pressure of the nomadic tribes from the east. Several reasons are suggested for this decline, including maladministration and the taxation policies of the Ottoman Empire. Some of the regions south of Ajlun, including Amman area, and along the escarpment of the Jordan valley were almost completely abandoned. Recovery starts during the last quarter of the 19th century. 1860 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces The unification of Italy leads to urban expansion outside the old city walls, which have lost their defensive value.

Formerly, the region had been divided into two districts, one with a Maronite Christian administrator and the other with a Druze.

  • HISTORICAL PROFILES / Serbia
    HISTORICAL PROFILES / Serbia Battle for the country (1804–33) The period between 1804 and 1815 is marked by two major uprisings in Serbia and the beginning of the Serb’s fight for liberation from Turkish occupation, and abolition of feudalism. The leader of the first Serbian uprising was #or#e Petrovi#, progenitor of the Kara#or#evi# Dynasty, while the leader of the second Serbian uprising was Miloš Obrenovi#. Portrait of Karadjordje Petrovic 1841 The Vassal state (1833–78) In 1833, Serbia gained autonomy within the Ottoman Empire, thus becoming a vassal, i.e. a tributary principality with a hereditary ruler. The first prince was Miloš Obrenovi#, and the capital of the Principality of Serbia was in Kragujevac. By a Hatišerif (Turkish edict), from 1833, Serbia gained freedom of religion and the possibility that Serbs, instead of Greeks up until then, could be elected Metropolitan or Patriarch in Belgrade. In 1835, Serbia gained its first Constitution. In 1842, Kara#or#e’s son, Prince Aleksandar Kara#or#evi#, came to power, which marked the beginning of the rule of the Kara#or#evi# Dynasty. At that time, the capital was moved to Belgrade. In 1848, Serbs raised a revolution in the part of the Austrian Empire populated by Serbs, and proclaimed the autonomous region Srpsko Vojvodstvo (the Serbian Duchy). In 1859, the Obrenovi# Dynasty regained power. The period between 1876 and 1878 was marked by wars against Turkey. Milos Obrenovic, prince of Serbia 1824 Independent state (1878–1918) After the Berlin Congress in 1878, Serbia obtained territorial expansion and independence.

This series focuses on the resulting diversity within Late Antique society, emphasizing cultural connections and exchanges; questions of unity and inclusion, alienation and conflict; and the processes of syncretism and change. By drawing upon a number of disciplines and approaches, this series sheds light on the cultural and social history of Late Antiquity and the greater Mediterranean world.
