The uprising in the Balkan Mountain was declared on May 1, 1876 on Baban peak. Along with their husbands, women also took part in the battles. The ten-day battles in the mountain passes ended with the bloody defeat of the Balkan Republic in Batoshevo, Kravenik and Novo Selo. The last battle which ended with defeat was held under Maragidik peak.
