Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the influence of geographical factors on the development of the Montenegrin liberation movement against the Ottoman Empire. Based on the relevant geographical and historical literature, the article indicates the key geographical elements that influenced this process as well as the most significant historical circumstances that occurred within it. The anti-Ottoman movement in Montenegro emerged in the middle of the seventeenth century in several places. Only in the area of the so-called Old Montenegro, the liberation movement was successful. The article points to a number of circumstances, which indicate that geographical elements had a key influence on the liberation movement and its success in this area. In this context, the article points to the first national idea of spatial territorialisation and restoration of the medieval Montenegrin principality.
