Banat, Bačka and Baranja (Serbian: Banat, Bačka i Baranja / Банат, Бачка и Барања) was a de facto province of the Kingdom of Serbia and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes between October 1918 and 1922. It included geographical regions of Banat, Bačka, and Baranja and its administrative center was Novi Sad.
The official name of the province was Banat, Bačka and Baranja, but it was also unofficially known as Vojvodina.
Following the collapse of Austria-Hungary in October 1918, the regions of Banat, Bačka and Baranja came under control of the Serbian army, in November. They entered Novi Sad on 9 November and dismantled the Hungarian-supported Banat Republic on 15 November. The local ethnic Serb population from these regions had already formed its own administration under the supreme authority of Serbian National Board in Novi Sad.
On November 25, 1918, the Great National Assembly of Serbs, Bunjevci and other Slavs (Velika narodna skupština Srba, Bunjevaca i ostalih Slovena/Велика народна скупштина Срба, Буњеваца и осталих Словена, German: Große Volksversammlung der Serben, Bunjewatzen und der übrigen Slawen) from Banat, Bačka and Baranja, voted that these regions join to the Kingdom of Serbia. The assembly numbered 757 deputies, of whom 578 were Serbs, 84 Bunjevci, 62 Slovaks, 21 Rusyns, 6 Germans, 3 Šokci, 2 Croats, and 1 Hungarian.
