Battle Of Sliva
The Battle of Sliva occurred in an area known as Sliva in the city of Kruševo, in Ottoman Macedonia on the August 12, 1903. It was an important episode of Ilinden–Preobrazhenie Uprising which occurred 10 days after the Kruševo Republic was proclaimed back on August 2, 1903, and eventually lead to the fall of the Republic and to the suppression of the uprising. The Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organisation was unorganised for this battle. Many 16- and 17-year-old men were also involved in this battle even though men were drafted at the age of 18 to join the army. This battle happened above a mountain with a height of above sea level that was densely forested and was only a few kilometres from a popular area known as Meckin Kamen.

The IMRO had a force of 500 to 600 revolutionaries commanded by Todor Hristov, while the Ottoman Army had a total of 3,000 to 3,100 soldiers. The Ottoman ...
