The Siege of Belgrade (Serbian: Опсада Београда, romanized: Opsada Beograda), known as the Liberation of Belgrade (Ослобођење Београда, Oslobođenje Beograda) was carried out by the Serbian rebels led by Karađorđe, seeking to overthrow the Ottoman government in the Sanjak of Smederevo, which was seated in the Belgrade Fortress. Following the victories at Mišar (13–15 August) and Deligrad (3 September), the Serbian rebels marched towards Belgrade. Belgrade was in Serbian hands by 26 December 1806.
