Q2583507
The Battle of the Cherna bend was a two-month-long battle between the Bulgarian and the Entente armies. The battle took place on the Macedonian front during the First World War Allied Monastir Offensive in October and November 1916. After extremely heavy fighting and severe casualties on both sides, the Bulgarians retreated from Bitola on 19 November, taking positions 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the north by defeating all the later attacks from there. However, the Entente entry in Bitola had no strategic value.
