The uprising broke out following the protests and spontaneous opposition to the decisions of the Congress of Berlin, which, instead of ceding the Bulgarian-populated parts of Macedonia to the newly reestablished Bulgarian suzerain state per the Treaty of San Stefano, returned them to Ottoman control.[8] It was prepared by the Unity Committee.[9] The rebellion was supported by detachments which had infiltrated the area from the Principality of Bulgaria.[10] As a result of disagreement within its leadership, the uprising lost its initial successful curse and was crushed by the Ottoman army.
