In 1915, Serbia was overrun by a combined Austro-Hungarian, German, and Bulgarian offensive. The Serbian army and government retreated across Albania to the Adriatic, a harrowing journey that cost tens of thousands of lives. But by early 1916, the remnants regrouped on the Greek island of Corfu, where the army was rebuilt with French support. They then joined the Allied Salonika Front, a stalled campaign in Macedonia that lasted over two years. This episode focuses on that forgotten front: the trench warfare around Bitola (Monastir), the role of Serbian forces under General Živojin Mišić, and the daily grind of disease, weather, and attrition. We also discuss the political fallout—the creation of the Serbian government-in-exile, the trial of Colonel Dimitrijević 'Apis,' and how the Allies' reluctance to commit troops doomed the front to stalemate until 1918. It's a story of survival, frustration, and the slow road to liberation. #WWI #Serbia #SalonikaFront #MacedonianFront #ŽivojinMišić #Bitola #Corfu #Apis #Macedonia #History #FexingoHistory #BalkanHistory #TrenchWarfare #1916 #1917 #SerbianArmy #Allies #RetreatAcrossAlbania Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
