Stara Zagora Uprising

Years: 1875 - 1975

The Stara Zagora Uprising (Bulgarian:Старозагорското въстание) was an uprising organized by the Bulgarian Revolutionary Central Committee against the Ottoman Empire in 1875. Though this uprising was largely unsuccessful, it would later serve as inspiration for the more successful April Uprising of 1876.

"{Readers} take infinitely more pleasure in knowing the variety of incidents that are contained in them, without ever thinking of imitating them, believing the imitation not only difficult, but impossible: as if heaven, the sun, the elements, and men should have changed the order of their motions and power, from what they were anciently"

― Niccolò Machiavelli, Discourses on Livy (1517)
