Footnote: The Karadjordjevic Dynasty was founded by Karadorde Petrovic of Serbia during the First Serbian Uprising of 1804-1813. A short-lived reign, the house was supported by the Russian Empire and was opposed to the Austria-Hungary dynasty. After Alexander I of Serbia was assassinated in 1903, Karadorde’s grandson, Peter I Karadjordjevic was the next to the throne. He was crowned King Peter I, and just before the end of the Great War, representatives of the three peoples proclaimed a Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes with Peter I as sovereign. In 1929, the kingdom was renamed Yugoslavia, under Alexander I. Alexander I was the prince regent of the Kingdom of Serbia from 1914, and later the King of Yugoslavia from 1921 to 1932. He was assassinated by the Bulgarian Vlad Chernozemski of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization, during a 1934 state visit to France.
