1704 KURIDZA'S Rebellion of Serbia (jan 1, 1704 – dec 31, 1704)
Description:
Kuridža's Rebellion (Serbian: Куриџина буна/Kuridžina buna) was a rebellion against the Republic of Venice due to taxation on newly conquered territory, which included a large peasant Orthodox Christian (Serb) population, led by Serbian Orthodox priest Petar Jagodić-"Kuridža" (1666–1749) in Bukovica and Ravni kotari (in the Dalmatian hinterland) that took place in 1704.The Venetian government implemented a tax of a tenth of yield on all lands that were conquered from the Ottoman Empire with the Great Turkish War (1683–99).
With special decrees or investments, lands were assigned to natural and legal persons, with regular payment of an annual tenth collected by tenants. The tenth (Serbian: desetina) was introduced in Venetian Dalmatia during the Morean War around 1690.
