District Of Potisje
The District of Potisje ( sr , script=Latn, Potiski krunski dištrikt or ) was an administrative territorial entity of the Habsburg monarchy. It was formed in 1751 with headquarters in Stari Bečej, and existed for almost one century (until 1848). History Before the formation of the district, its territory was part of the Tisa- Moriš section of the Military Frontier and was mainly inhabited by ethnic Serbs. After the abolishment of this part of the Frontier, many Serbs left from the area and immigrated to Russian Empire (notably to New Serbia and Slavo-Serbia). Some of them also settled in Banat. The three privileges were given to the district in 1759, 1774, and 1800, and were published for those frontiersmen (Serbs) that did not emigrated to Russian Empire or Banat. The first privilege of the District defined its autonomous status, while the second one allowed to ethnic Hungarians to settle in the district. Serbs opposed this settling of Hungarians in Serb settlements and ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
