Description

1787–1788 siege

There were attempts by the Austrian army to besiege Belgrade, a strategically important city on the Habsburg–Ottoman border, on 2–3 December 1787 and 18 January 1788 that failed. Austria planned to take Belgrade by surprise, before a declaration of war. The operation of taking Belgrade without a fight was always part of Austrian tactics throughout the 18th century.
