Q12748979




The Battle of Čokešina, also referred to as the "Serbian Thermopylae", was fought on Lazarus Saturday, 28 April 1804, by an outnumbered Serbian insurgent army made up of 300 hajduks under the command of the Nedić brothers against the Dahije who were supported by Ottoman Bosnian troops. It took place near the Monastery of Čokešina, not far from Loznica. The small Serbian force was eventually defeated after a day of fierce fighting; the death of almost all the insurgents resulted from the battle. Its aim of preventing the siege of the Ottomans at Šabac being broken by relieving Bosnian–Ottoman troops was nevertheless achieved.
