Abstract
The Ilinden Uprising, which broke out in the August of 1903, has caused a widespread wave of disturbance on the Ottoman Roumelia. Within the uprising, the Bulgarian committees, which are also supported by Bulgaria, sparkled a rebellion against the Ottoman State by provoking the Bulgarian subjects of the Ottoman State. In the rebellion within which Ottoman military and administrative units were attacked, the Muslim villages were burnt and Muslim civilians were massacred by the Bulgarian armed bands. The Ilinden Uprising has been viewed by some academic studies as a subtitle in their works however there aren’t any studies which widely evaluated the Ottoman state archives in a wider aspect. In this work, the significant events of the Ilinden Uprising including the Krushevo incident have been examined by widely evaluating the Ottoman archive papers on the matter.
