Epic battle of the First Balkan War of 1912 during which the Serbian forces of General Radomir Putnik crushed the Ottoman army of General Zekki north of Uskub, known today as Skopje, the modern capital of Macedonia.
The battle effectively ended Ottoman rule in Europe, although isolated garrisons held out until the following spring.
