The battle of Dobrich, also known as the battle of Bazargic or the Dobrich epopee (Bulgarian language: Добричка епопея
), took place between 5 and 7 September 1916 between the armies of Bulgaria and Romania. Despite being outnumbered, the Bulgarian Third Army was victorious and took Southern Dobruja, pushing the Russian and Romanian forces further north and defeating them once again at the Lake Oltina - Kara Omer - Mangalia line.
