The Battle of Gallipoli was fought by the Serbian troops sent by Stefan Uroš II Milutin to aid the Byzantine Emperor in the defense of his lands against the Ottoman Turks. After numerous attempts in subduing the Turks, the rapidly crumbling Byzantine Empire was forced to enlist the help of Serbia. The Turks were looting and pillaging the countryside and the two armies converged at the Gallipoli peninsula where the Ottomans were decisively defeated.

  • The Battle of Gallipoli was fought by the Serbian troops sent by Stefan Uroš II Milutin to aid the Byzantine Emperor in the defense of his lands against the Ottoman Turks. After numerous attempts in subduing the Turks, the rapidly crumbling Byzantine Empire was forced to enlist the help of Serbia. The Turks were looting and pillaging the countryside and the two armies converged at the Gallipoli peninsula where the Ottomans were decisively defeated. Out of the gratitude to Serbia, the town of Kucovo was donated to the Serbs. This was the first battle between Serbs and Turks on European soil. The crumbling Byzantine Empire again enlisted the aid of Serbia in 1313. Realizing the danger the Turks posed, Stefan Uroš II Milutin sent a large army (under the independent command of Novak Grebostrek) to battle the Turks in Asia Minor. The Serbian troops were said to have performed well and delivered several blows to the Ottoman Turks.
