About the battle
The Battle of Loznica (Serbian Cyrillic: бој на Лозници) also known as the Battle of Tičar (бој на Тичару) was fought on 17–18 October 1810 between Serbian Revolutionaries and Ottoman forces in Loznica, at the time part of the Sanjak of Zvornik, a region of the Ottoman Empire, (today Serbia).
Following their defeat at the Battle of Varvarin, a large Ottoman force from Bosnia poured across the Drina and struck against the Serbian entrenchments at Loznica west of Belgrade. After a fierce battle and the arrival of reinforcements, the Serbs were victorious and Serbia was liberated. The battle has been called one of the greatest victory of the First Serbian Uprising.
