The battle ended in Serbian victory, which was also the first Allied victory in World War I. As a result, Austrian forces had to pull back with severe casualties.

Battle of Kolubara
This was the second great war on Serbia. Serbian army began retreating, step by step. It was in at that time that Gen. Zivojin Misic was made commander of the battered 1st Army.
