The Serbs, expecting a swift victory, advance…
November 1885 CE
The Serbs, expecting a swift victory, advance as far as Slivnitsa, where they are met and defeated by the untrained Bulgarian army under Prince Alexander's command.
Bulgarian forces pursue the Serbs across the frontier, but when Austria-Hungary threatens to enter the war in Serbia's defense, Alexander accepts an armistice.
