'''Šabac''' ({{lang-sr-Cyrl|Шабац}}, {{IPA|sh|ʃâbat͡s|pron}}) is a [[List of cities in Serbia|city]] and the administrative centre of the [[Mačva District]] in western Serbia. The traditional centre of the fertile [[Mačva]] region, Šabac is located on the right banks of the river [[Sava]]. {{As of|2011||alt=According to the 2011 census|df=}}, the city proper has population of 51,163, while its administrative area comprises 105,432 inhabitants.

==Name==
The name ''Šabac'' was first mentioned in [[Republic of Dubrovnik|Ragusan]] documents dating to 1454. The origin of the city's name is uncertain; it is possible its name comes from the name of the city's main river, the [[Sava]]. The city is known by a variety of different names: ''Zaslon'' in medieval Serbian,  ''Szabács'' in [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]], ''Böğürdelen'' in [[Turkish language|Turkish]], and ''Schabatz'' in [[German language|German]].

==History==
{{more citations needed section|date=February 2016}}
Archaeological evidence attests to more permanent settlement in the area from the [[Neolithic]].<ref name="sabac12">{{cite web|url=http://www.sabac.org/index_srb.php?page=12|title=Zvanična prezentacija grada Šapca - Istorija|access-date=2011-07-29|archive-date=2015-11-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151120041850/http://www.sabac.org/index_srb.php?page=12|url-status=dead}}</ref> In the [[Middle Ages]], a [[Slavs|Slavic]] settlement named ''Zaslon'' existed at the current location of Šabac.<ref name="sabac12"/>  The settlement was part of the [[Serbian Despotate]] until it fell to the [[Ottoman Empire]] in 1459.

In 1470, the Ottomans built the first [[fortress]] in the town and named it ''Beyerdelen'' (Böğürdelen, meaning "side-striker"). In 1476 the Hungarian king [[Matthias Corvinus of Hungary|Matthias Corvinus]] captured the fort; it remained under administration of the [[Kingdom of Hungary]] until 1521, when it was again captured by the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]]. Under Hungarian administration, the town was part of the [[Banovina of Mačva|Banate of Macsó]], whereas under Ottoman administration it was firstly part of the Sanjak of [[Zvornik]] within the [[Eyalet of Bosnia|Province of Bosnia]], and later part of the [[Sanjak of Smederevo]]. Šabac was the administrative centre of the [[Nahiye (Ottoman)|nahiye]] of Šabac, a local Ottoman administrative unit. During the Ottoman period, Šabac was a typical oriental town with tiny streets, small shops and several mosques. The population was composed of both [[Muslims]] and [[Serbs]], along with smaller numbers of Hungarians and Croats.<ref name="sabac12"/>

Until the 19th century, Šabac was mostly under Ottoman administration, but control of the town changed hands several times between the Ottoman Empire and the [[Habsburg monarchy]] during the [[Ottoman–Habsburg wars|Ottoman-Habsburg wars]]. The first period of Habsburg rule began in 1718, when Šabac was incorporated into the [[Kingdom of Serbia (1718-1739)|Habsburg Kingdom of Serbia]]. After the [[Treaty of Belgrade]] (1739), Šabac reverted to Ottoman control and, straddling the boundary between the two empires, it gained importance as a market town. A second period of Habsburg control of the area followed starting in 1789. The storming of the city was one of the early experiences of the renowned military leader [[Józef Poniatowski]]. Ottoman control over the area was restored a few years later.

Šabac became a site of importance in Serbian history in the [[First Serbian Uprising]] when, in 1806, [[Karađorđe]] led the Serbian insurgents into one of the first victories over the Ottoman army near the nearby village of [[Mišar]]. Until 1813, the town was part of [[Karađorđe's Serbia|Revolutionary Serbia]]. A brief period of restored Ottoman control followed, but after the Second Serbian Uprising in 1815, Šabac was included into the now-autonomous [[Principality of Serbia]] under the [[Obrenović]] dynasty. This first ruling family of modern Serbia left its mark on the town; ''knez'' [[Miloš Obrenović]]'s brother, the enlightened Jevrem Obrenović, built a personal residence and helped modernise the town: the period from 1820 to 1850 saw the establishment of a hospital, a pharmacy, a Serbian grammar school, a [[Gymnasium (school)|gymnasium]], a theatre, and a musical society.

The Ottoman army evacuated the fort of Šabac in 1867, marking the end of the Ottoman presence in the area. The first newspaper in the [[Kingdom of Serbia]] was printed in Šabac in 1883, and the town was also the first in Serbia where women started visiting [[kafana]]s (pubs) on Sunday afternoons, as was customary for men.

[[File:ShabatzBombardeadaOctubreDe1914--reportuponatroci00reis.jpg|thumb|Šabac, on the river [[Sava]], which was the then northern border of Serbia with Austria-Hungary, was badly damaged by Austro-Hungarian bombardment and street fighting in 1914]]

The town prospered until the [[World War I|First World War]], when it was occupied and devastated by the [[Austro-Hungarian army]] and had its population halved (from cca. 14,000 to 7,000) on the orders of Kasimir von Lütgendorf, despite the fact that the [[Royal Serbian Army]] evacuated the town without resistance. Lütgendorf later ordered three of his own soldiers to be publicly executed by bayonet in the town square for drunkenly discharging their rifles despite orders from his superior [[Karl Tersztyánszky von Nádas]] to stop, leading to him being court-martialed and convicted for murder after the war in 1920.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Hastings|first=Max |title=Catastrophe 1914 : Europe goes to war|date=2013|isbn=978-0-307-59705-2 |location=New York|oclc=828893101}}</ref> World War I is also remembered for the [[Battle of Cer|battle]] on nearby [[Cer (mountain)|Cer]] mountain where the Serbian army under general [[Stepa Stepanović]] won an early victory against [[Austria-Hungary]] in August 1914, the first Allied victory in the war.{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} After the war, Šabac was decorated with the [[Croix de guerre 1914–1918 (France)|French War Cross with Palm]] (1920), the [[Czechoslovak War Cross 1918|Czechoslovak War Cross]] (1925), and the [[Order of the Karađorđe's Star with Swords]] (1934).

In 1918, the town became a part of the newly formed [[Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes]] (later renamed to [[Yugoslavia]]). From 1918 to 1922, it was the administrative seat of [[Podrinje]] District, from 1922 to 1929 the administrative seat of [[Podrinje]] Oblast, and from 1929 to 1941 it was a part of the [[Drina Banovina]]. An early milestone in the [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia|Yugoslav]] era of the town's history was the opening of the Zorka chemical plant in 1938. The city's renewal was interrupted by [[World War II]] and occupation by [[Nazi Germany|German]] troops (from 1941 to 1944). During the [[Axis occupation of Yugoslavia]], Šabac was part of the area governed by the [[Military Administration in Serbia]]. Its population of 1,200 Jews were arrested and ended in the ill-fated [[Kladovo transport]].<ref>Anderl and Manoschek. 2001 Gescheitert Flucht. Vienna: Mandelbaum.<!-- ISSN/ISBN, page(s) needed --></ref> During the [[Uprising in Serbia]] the united rebel forces of the [[Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland]], [[Yugoslav Partisans|forces of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia]] and [[Pećanac Chetniks]] attacked German garrison in Šabac in an event known as [[Attack on Šabac]], but failed to capture the town. In the German and Croatian [[Ustaše]] retributions 1,130 civilians were executed, 21,500 imprisoned and most of the populated places in Mačva were completely burned down. Eventually, 7,000 inmates were killed. {{clarify|date=February 2016}} The city was liberated from occupation by the [[Partisans (Yugoslavia)|Yugoslav Partisans]] in 1944. After the war, it was included into [[People's Republic of Serbia]] within the new [[SFRY|socialist Yugoslavia]]. Since then, it grew into a modern industrial city with the aforementioned Zorka chemical plant and an expanded population. The 1970s saw the construction of the first modern sports hall. The swamp at the city's outskirts, Benska Bara, was drained and turned into a residential neighborhood, and a new bridge was built over the [[Sava|Sava river]]. By 2010, the population of the city and its suburbs had risen to 75,000.

==Economy==
Prior to 1990, Šabac had one of the best developed economies among cities in Yugoslavia. However, [[international sanctions]] against Yugoslavia during the [[Bosnian War]] provoked the shutdown of the Zorka plant, which was the main enterprise in Šabac. Many other major local firms like "Šapčanka", "Izgradnja", and "Nama" also shut down during this period.

The main industries of Šabac today are agriculture, transportation and food production. Since 2000, some of the more important companies are dairy plant Mlekara Šabac, [[Elixir Group]], Zorka Pharma, and [[Železara Smederevo|Hesteel Serbia Iron & Steel - Tin mill]]. Production of [[raspberry]] is also highly developed in Šabac area. As of September 2017, Šabac has one of 14 [[free economic zone]]s established in Serbia.<ref name="srbeconomiczone2017">{{cite news |last1=Mikavica |first1=A. |title=Slobodne zone mamac za investitore |url=http://www.politika.rs/sr/clanak/388105/Slobodne-zone-mamac-za-investitore |access-date=17 March 2019 |work=politika.rs |date=3 September 2017 |language=sr}}</ref>
