Đorđe Petrović (pronounced [dʑôːrdʑe pětroʋitɕ]; Serbian Cyrillic: Ђорђе Петровић; 14 November [O.S. 3 November] 1762 – 25 July [O.S. 14 July] 1817), better known by the sobriquet Karađorđe (pronounced [kâradʑoːrdʑe]; Serbian Cyrillic: Карађорђе, lit. 'Black George'), was a Serbian revolutionary who led the struggle for his country's independence from the Ottoman Empire during the First Serbian Uprising of 1804–1813. Born into an impoverished family in the Šumadija region of Ottoman Serbia, Karađorđe distinguished himself during the Austro-Turkish War of 1788–1791 as a member of the Serbian Free Corps, a militia of Habsburg and Ottoman Serbs, armed and trained by the Austrians. Fearing retribution following the Austrians' and Serb rebels' defeat in 1791, he and his family fled to the Austrian Empire, where they lived until 1794, when a general amnesty was declared.
