Great National Assembly in Novi Sad

The Great National Assembly was a political assembly held by representatives of Slavic peoples in Novi Sad on 25 November 1918, which proclaimed the secession of Banat, Bačka and Baranya regions from the already collapsed Austria-Hungary, and unification of those regions with the Kingdom of Serbia. == Background == At the end of the First World War in the autumn of 1918, under the Armistice of Belgrade (13 November), armed forces of Austria-Hungary retreated from the territory of Délvidék (southern counties of the Kingdom of Hungary, including: Baranya, Bács-Bodrog, Torontál, Temes, Krassó-Szörény), and the region was possessed by the Allied Army of the Orient, thus allowing the Royal Serbian Army to establish effective control south of the Pécs-Baja-Szeged-Mureș line.
