List Of Chetnik Voivodes
This is a list of Chetnik voivodes. VoivodeAlso spelled "voievod", "woiwode", "voivod", "voyvode", "vojvoda", or "woiwod" () ( Old Slavic, literally "war-leader" or "war-lord") is a Slavic as well as Romanian title that originally denoted the principal commander of a military force. It derives from the word ''vojevoda'', which in early Slavic meant the ''bellidux'', i.e. the military commander of an area, but it usually had a greater meaning. Among the first modern-day voivodes was Kole Rašić, a late 19th-century Serb revolutionary and guerrilla fighter, who led a cheta of 300 men between Niš and Leskovac in Ottoman areas during the Serbo-Turkish War (1876–1878).
