The Albanian Revolt of 1912 was the final Albanian revolt in the Ottoman Empire and lasted from January until August 1912. The revolt ended when the Ottoman government agreed to fulfill the rebels' demands on September 4, 1912. == Prelude == The main reasons for all these revolts were changes for Albanians introduced by Young Turks, including tax increases, conscription for Albanians in the Ottoman army, and the disarming of the Albanian civil population. Albanians were not the only ones to start a rebellion against the Young Turks government. There were insurgencies in Syria and on the Arab peninsula. The first major Albanian revolt in 1910 led by Isa Boletini and Idriz Seferi was supported by Bulgaria and Montenegro. After two weeks of fierce fighting the Albanian rebels withdrew to the Drenicë region and the rebellion was suppressed. Sultan Mehmed V visited Priština in June 1911 and declared an amnesty for all of those who had participated in the revolt, except for the ones who had committed murder. In order to calm the situation the sultan introduced a number of concessions, including: # establishment of Albanian schools # military service to be restricted to the territory of Kosovo vilayet # suspension of all conscription and taxes for two years and # appointment of government officials who speak the Albanian language. At the end of 1911 a group of Albanian members of Ottoman parliament, led by Ismail Qemali, started a debate in parliament. They requested additional rights for Albanians in cultural and administrative spheres. In January 1912, Hasan Prishtina, an Albanian deputy in the Ottoman parliament, publicly warned members of parliament that the policy of Young Turks government was leading to a revolution in Albania.〔 After that speech Ismail Qemali proposed a meeting to Hasan Prishtina. They met at the same evening in house of Hasan Prishtina and agreed to organize an Albanian uprising. The following day they met in Pera Palace Hotel in Istanbul with Mufid Bey Libohova, Essad Pasha Toptani, Aziz Pasha Vrioni and Syreja Bey Vlora. They agreed to join their organizations and lead the Albanian uprising. Subsequently they took an oath on this promise at a meeting in Syreja Bey's house in Taxim. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albanian Revolt of 1912」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
