Major Battles of the Balkan Wars

Introduction

by Rudy Scott Nelson



This Chronology covers mainly significant battles of the war. Political events and frequent skirmishes between small units are not included. The book by the Greek High Command goes into minute detail about all troop movements and engagements.

Frequently, details of one or two companies would race to a small village or town and isolate the local garrison. The garrison would put up a brief fight, then, if no relief was in sight, surrender or withdraw. These were almost daily events during October and November. The books reflect how rich in scenarios that this war can be with many small unit, operational and even some massive battle being fought.
