=== World War I === During [[World War I]], Kragujevac again became the capital of Serbia (1914–1915), and the seat of many state institutions—the Supreme Army Command was housed within the courthouse building.<ref name="Politika" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://en.europeonline-magazine.eu/kragujevac-stadt_44145.html|title=Kragujevac (Stadt)|publisher=En.europeonline-magazine.eu|date=21 October 1941|access-date=12 August 2015|archive-date=23 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170823165258/http://en.europeonline-magazine.eu/kragujevac-stadt_44145.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> A unit of the Scottish Women's Hospital for Women's Service was based there from December 1914 to November 1915. A list of those working in the hospital can be viewed on the website "Imperial War Museum: Lives of the First World War " and more information on these units is below.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Scottish Women's Hospitals - Unit at Kraguievatz, Serbia|url=https://livesofthefirstworldwar.iwm.org.uk/community/3702/?page=2|access-date=13 October 2021|website=Imperial War Museum: Lives of the First World War|archive-date=17 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230717084940/https://livesofthefirstworldwar.iwm.org.uk/community/3702/?page=2|url-status=live}}</ref> During the war, Kragujevac lost around 15% of its population. On the night of 2 June 1918, a group of occupying Slovak soldiers from the Austro-Hungarian 71st infantry regiment mutinied in the city centre. The soldiers, led by Viktor Kolibík, had recently returned from captivity in Russia and were to be immediately deployed to the Italian Front. The mutiny failed, and 44 mutineers were executed.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.telecom.gov.sk/externe/znamky/1998/98152e.html|title=Kragujevac 1918|website=telecom.gov.sk|access-date=4 August 2016|archive-date=24 May 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080524212603/http://www.telecom.gov.sk/externe/znamky/1998/98152e.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
