Dobroslav I (Draža II)

Dobroslav I, (real name: Draža Dobroslav Božidar) was a general in the Serbian empire's army and before moving to Serbia in 1951, was the last chancellor of Yermania from March 1928 to June 1929. Dobroslav changed his name in 1931, after the Yermanian independence rebellion, which lasted from February 1930 to March 1931. Dobroslav was not known to be Draža II until 1970, when tested DNA came back exactly the same for both.

Dobroslav is an extremely controversial figure in history, having committed multiple war crimes from 1930-1931 during the rebellion. Dobroslav is better known as Draža II in Yermania itself, where he is known as a war hero. Draža is universally hated in Serbia and Croatia for his crimes, but because of his help in the Bosnian revolution, people in Serbia don't know exactly what to think about him.

History:

Dobroslav was born on the 16th of November, 1896, as Draža Dobroslav Božidar, in the city of Maribor located in the Austro-Hungarian empire at the time. Dobroslav's father was a lawyer, causing his son to follow in his father's footsteps in 1913, entering law school. He had to do military service in 1914 and was drafted to the front lines in the first world war from April to July in 1916.

Yermania:

Draža became a lawyer in 1919, during the establishment of the Yermanian republic. Draža gained an interest in politics in around 1923 and in 1925, he became a deputy in the national convention of Yermania. In 1927, he was appointed to become a general in the armed forces of Yermania, there he became closer with the president of Yermania, who was the father of Yermania (the user).

Draža became the chancellor of Yermania on the 2nd of March, 1928, he used his position to his own benefit and also used it to try and start up a dictatorship Draža's chancellorship ended up causing 1,500 deaths, which caused protests to erupt in January of 1929. Draža's chancellorship was taken away from him on the 15th of January but given back on the 23rd.

Draža's position in the Yermanian cabinet was finally dissolved on the 24th of June, 1929, one day before the nation was annexed.

The rebellion:

From August 1929 to January 1930, Draža lived with Yermania's father in a small town named Črnomelj. They eventually started the rebellion there on the 6th of February, where they stormed a local committee building, armed with just 2 machine guns and 3 pistols. They managed to take most of the city's committee as hostages.

The rebellion picked up from there and eventually the entire city was captured with over 2 000 people ready to fight for their cause. They started advancing through Yermania and eventually besieged the important city of Ljubljana. The siege lasted 2 weeks and was a great show of Draža's military strategy.

In August 1930, Draža was ordered to advance towards Serbia proper, in order to make the Serbs give up quicker.

Draža's military campaign towards Serbia was plagued by disloyal officers, low supplies and terrible weather, causing him to call off the operation and to try and retreat back to Yermania. The campaign ended in October of 1930, with supplies and resources being on an extreme low, something that the rebellion would never recover from.

Draža's last battle in the rebellion occured on the 6th of March, 1931, when he had to defend the suburbs of Črnomelj. The battle ended in a stalemate at first but on the 14th of March, Draža's army was pushed back to the last small suburb of the city, where the government was.

On the 19th of March, 1931, Draža escaped the city by making himself unrecognizable to the point where even the rebellion's officers almost couldn't tell who he was.

Draža settled in a small apartment with 2 other high-ranking generals from the 23rd of March to the 18th of May, 1931. On the 19th of May, he finally moved from Yermania and hid in the alps in multiple remote houses.

Hiding:

Draža decided to hide in the mountains of Italy, in multiple different small residences, where he would stay for around 4 and a half years. He had gotten multiple letters mailed to his house from people who were looking for him, not knowing it was Draža himself answering the door.

On the 26th of July, 1935, Draža was encountered by a citizen who knew who he was, but Draža shot the citizen and hid his body in the house he was staying in. After the incident he thought he should move from the area, which he ended up doing in February of 1936.

Draža finally changed his name to Dobroslav Andrej Božidar on the 23rd of March, 1936, while crossing the border into the Kingdom of Serbia. In November 1937, he finally settled in the remote mountainous areas of Bosnia, where he would hide until 1942, when people tried drafting him into the army, he refused and eventually moved to a remote residence in North Macedonia, where he would stay until the end of the war.

In 1947, he finally came out of hiding and became a deputy in the Convention of SFR Yugoslavia on the 4th of April, 1948. Dobroslav eventually became a general of the Yugoslav empire in 1950, which eventually turned into the Serbian empire. As one of the highest-ranking generals of the army, he became extremely close with Yermania and Feiron I.

His son, Dobroslav II, who was 32 at the time, became a general of the army in 1951. He also became one of the highest-ranking generals and he would eventually be the future Secretary of state of the Serbian empire.

Bosnian Revolution:

Dobroslav was a general during the Bosnian revolution, he fought along side Yermania during some of the conflicts. Dobroslav had already lived in Bosnia before, which was great for the Serbs because he roughly knew the terrain of Bosnia.

During the siege of Gračanica, a stray artillery shell hit only 12 feet away from Dobroslav, which made him fall from 15 feet and damage himself. Dobroslav was brought to the hospital, where he would recover after only 4 days.

Dobroslav during the war, was extremely anti-Bosnian, to the point where the rest of the high command labelled him as extremely hateful to the smaller ethnic groups in the empire.

Death and Legacy:

Dobroslav's health started failing by 1952, as he had started gaining weight, due to the inactivity he was experiencing. Eventually, Dobroslav had a case of heart failure in 1953. Dobroslav survived but would eventually die due to a fatal case of Pneumonia in 1954.

Dobroslav's legacy is extremely different depending on what nationality you're asking. Yermanians consider him as a war hero, who tried to liberate Yermania from foreign invaders. Serbs either consider him as a war criminal, or a hero of Serbia, who saved the empire from crumbling.

Whether he is a war criminal or war hero, he has been declared as one of the greatest generals ever born in the balkan region, sometimes being labelled as the "Yermanian Napoleon" due to his military skill.
