Ilinden Uprising
Provisional government was established in the town of Kruševo, where the insurgents proclaimed the Kruševo Republic, which was overrun after just ten days, on August 12. On August 19, a closely related uprising organized by Thracian revolutionaries in the Adrianople Vilayet led to the liberation of a large area in the Strandža Mountains, and the creation of a provisional government in Vassiliko, the Strandža Republic. This lasted about twenty days before being put down by the Turks. The insurrection also affected the vilayets of Kosovo and Salonika.
