During the July Crisis of 1914 Mišić effectively deputised for the ailing Putnik (then recuperating at a spa in Hungary). Defending against the Austro-Hungarian invasion of Serbia, Mišić (who had emerged from retirement to do so) was placed in command of the Serbian First Army; in December 1914, he won a decisive victory at the Battle of Kolubara that resulted in the humiliating expulsion of Austro-Hungarian forces from Serbia. He was subsequently promoted to the rank of Field Marshal in recognition of his efforts in winning such a sweeping Serbian victory.
Although Mišić participated in the great retreat of the Serbian Army through the winter mountains of Albania during the winter of 1915-16, harried by the second combined German and Austro-Hungarian invasion force (ultimately joined by Bulgaria), he remained in favour of halting and making a final stand against Serbia's combined enemies. He was over-ridden however by both King Peter and the other Army commanders at a meeting in Peć, and was followed by the withdrawal of the Serbian army through Montenegro and Albania.
Having suffered badly from exposure during the epic retreat, Mišić recovered. At the Thessaloniki front in 1916, Mišić commanded the First Army, which stopped and forced the withdrawal of the Bulgarian army at the Battle of Gornicevo. Towards the end of the war in June 1918 Mišić was appointed Chief of the Supreme Command and commanded the Serbian army during the breakthrough of the Salonika front in September 1918. He was a lecturer at the Military Academy in Belgrade, and the end of his military career was greeted by the Chief of General Staff of Army of The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. [1]
His son, Major Aleksandar Mišić, was instrumental in the Chetnik forces during the Nazi Operation Mihailovic; he was posthumously awarded the Order of the Karađorđe's Star with Swords III on 7 January 1942, following his torture and execution resulting from surrendering as part of a military ruse to save Colonel Dragoljub Mihailović.[citation needed]
Na samom početku svoje četrdesetogodišnje službe, kao pitomac Artiljerijske škole, učestvovao je u dva oslobodilačka rata protiv Turske (1876. i 1877 — 1878. godine). U tim ratovima komandovao je Kolubarskim bataljonom Valjevske brigade II klase i stekao prva ratna iskustva.
Pored četvorogodišnje Artiljerijske škole završio je austro-ugarsku školu gađanja u Bruku na Lajti i dvogodišnju pripremu za generalštabnu struku u srpskoj vojsci.
Učestvovao je i u Srpsko-bugarskom ratu 1885. kao poručnik i komadant 5. puka Drinske divizije.
Od 1898. do 1904. predavao je strategiju na Vojnoj akademiji. [1]
Nakon Majskog prevrata je bio primoran da se penzioniše u činu generalštabnog pukovnika, navodno zbog uticaja Crne ruke, pošto je smatran previše bliskim svrgnutoj dinastiji Obrenovića, ali je reaktiviran 1909, tokom Aneksione krize na lični zahtev načelnika Vrhovne komande generala Radomira Putnika, koji ga je učinio svojim pomoćnikom. Mišić je pomogao generalu Putniku da sastavi srpski ratni plan u eventualnom ratu sa Austro-Ugarskom.
U balkanskim ratovima Mišić je bio pomoćnik načelnika štaba Vrhovne komande vojvode Radomira Putnika, njegova desna ruka, jer je — kako je istakao general Živko Pavlović — „u najtežim trenucima svojim optimizmom i čvrstinom karaktera održavao i samog Putnika u uverenju u dobar ishod operacija srpske vojske“. Neposredno je sarađivao na planiranju i rukovođenju operacijama protiv turske Vardarske armije, zbog čega je posle Kumanovske bitke unapređen u čin generala. Posebno se istakao pravilnom procenom situacije prvoga dana bitke na Bregalnici, kada je srpska Vrhovna komanda u Skoplju razmatrala pitanje na kojoj liniji će primiti odsudnu bitku. Usvajanje njegovog predloga imalo je presudan uticaj na dalji tok i konačan ishod odlučujuće bitke Drugog balkanskog rata. Po završetku ovog rata, Mišić je po drugi put penzionisan.
Međutim, pred samo izbijanje Prvog svetskog rata, opet je reaktiviran i postavljen za pomoćnika načelnika štaba Vrhovne komande. Tokom Kolubarske bitke, Mišiću je predata komanda nad Prvom armijom, tada u vrlo teškoj situaciji, da zameni njenog ranjenog i bolesnog komadanta generala Petra Bojovića. Najviše zahvaljujući njegovim ličnim naporima i znanju, Prva armija se od jedinice u rasulu pretvorila u formaciju sposobnu za borbu. Mišić je insistirao (tada je to smatrano rizičnim) na dubljem povlačenju da bi se celoj srpskoj vojsci dalo vremena da se odmori i popuni zalihe, što je rezultovalo napuštanjem Beograda. Međutim, njegovo kockanje se isplatilo pošto je austrougarska vojska previše raširila svoje linije snabdevanja i teško je poražena u potonjem srpskom kontranapadu, koji je takođe započeo Mišić, a njegova armija je odigrala odlučujuću ulogu. Ovo je bila jedna od najvećih bitaka u srpskoj istoriji i Mišić je unapređen u čin vojvode. Nakon novog združenog napada nemačke, austrougarske i bugarske vojske na Srbiju u oktobru 1915, kada se srpska vojska povukla na Kosovo, Mišić je predložio da se izvrši kontranapad. Ovaj predlog su odbili ostali zapovednici armija na sastanku u Peći, i sledilo je povlačenje srpske vojske preko Crne Gore i Albanije. Na Solunskom frontu 1916. Mišić je komandovao Prvom armijom koja je zaustavila i naterala na povlačenje bugarsku vojsku u bici kod Gorničeva. Pred kraj rata u junu 1918. Mišić je postavljen za načelnika Vrhovne komande i komandovao je srpskom vojskom prilikom proboja Solunskog fronta u septembru 1918.
Živojin Mišić je umro u Beogradu 20. januara 1921.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
