The battle of Dobrich, also known as the Dobrich epopee (Bulgarian: Добричка епопея), took place between 5 and 7 September 1916 between the armies of Bulgaria and Romania. Despite being outnumbered, the Bulgarian Army was victorious and took Southern Dobrudzha, pushing the Romanian Army further north and defeating them once again at Kobadin.
