A city in the Republic of Serbia, in central Yugoslavia. It lies on the Lepenica River and has a population of 147,000 (1991). It was founded in the 15th century. It flourished as the capital of the Principality of Serbia from 1818 to 1839, during which time Serbia's first gymnasium, printing press, theater, lycei (lice), and military academy were established. In 1851, a munitions factory also began production. Since then, it has served as the economic and cultural center of the Šumadia region to this day. Between October 21 and 23, 1941, the occupying German army shot and killed 7,000 people, including schoolchildren, in retaliation for the assassination of a local officer.
