The Battle of Dragashani (or Battle of Dragasani) was fought on June 19, 1821 in Drăgăşani, Wallachia between the Ottoman forces of Sultan Mahmud II and Greek rebel forces. Alexander Ypsilantis and the Filiki Etaireia executed an invasion of the Danubian provinces of the Ottoman Empire by sparking a revolt among the inhabitants. Ypsilantis failed to attract Russian military aid during his campaign and his forces (i.e. the Sacred Battalion[1]) were ultimately defeated by the Ottomans. However, the aftermath of this battle was responsible for starting the uprising in Patras from which the Greek War of Independence officially began.[2] Combatants Greek revolutionaries United Kingdom Kingdom of France Russian Empire Ottoman Empire Egyptian Khedivate Commanders Theodoros Kolokotronis Alexander Ypsilanti Georgios Karaiskakis Omer Vryonis Mahmud Dramali Pasha ReÅŸid Mehmed Pasha Ibrahim Pasha. ...
