It was preceded by the Herzegovina uprising of 1875–1877. The uprising began in January 1882 in response to the introduction of conscription in Bosnia and Herzegovina and opposition to Austro-Hungarian rule. The uprising was suppressed by Austro-Hungarian forces by April 1882. History Emergence Trouble begain with the Congress of Berlin, solving the so-called Great Eastern Crisis.Ottův slovník naučný.

This caused resentment among the ethnically and religiously mixed population. The situation escalated at the beginning of 1882. The main reason for the uprising was the unresolved agrarian issue, taxes and the military duty imposed on the local population. It was officially decided that the population of the most recently acquired territory of the Habsburg Monarchy should also serve in its army. This outraged locals, since Bosnia still formally belonged to the Ottoman Empire and only the Sultan could make such a decision. The Bosniaks reacted by massively migrating to Turkish territories (especially to Sandžak), the Serbs initially protested, which led to an armed uprising around the city of Foča. On the night of 11 January, a group of armed peasants attacked gendarmerie barracks in Ulog. The center of the uprising was there and the rebel government formed there. Most rebels were poor peasants. The uprising soon spread to northeast Herzegovina and southeast Bosnia. Between January and February, rebels commanded by Stojan Kovačević and Salih-Salko Forta tried to attack Foča and Trnovo (south and southeast from Sarajevo). Their main goal was the liberation of Sarajevo.
