The Macedonian Rebellion of 1854 (Шаблон:Lang-el) was a Greek rebellion which took place in 1854 and is divided into two phases: the first phase took place in Western and Southern Macedonia and the second in Chalkidiki. However, after pressure from the United Kingdom and France on the government of King Otto of Greece, he was forced to recall the chieftains taking part in the rebellions throughout the Greek-inhabited regions of the Ottoman Empire, including Macedonia. The governments of the United Kingdom and France had assumed that the rebellions were related to the Crimean War (1853–1856).

Events

In Southern Macedonia, the chieftains of Mount Olympos and fighters from independent Greece and Thessaly and Magnesia captured the Vale of Tempe and some parts of Pieria. In Western Macedonia, the revolutionaries led by Theodoros Ziakas took control of the western Pindus and attacked the area of Grevena, but the numerical superiority of the Ottoman army and the hostile stance of the United Kingdom and France resulted in the signing of an armistice and the return of the chieftains to Greece in June 1854.[1]

The second phase took place in Chalkidiki and it was led by Tsamis Karatasos, former adjutant of King Otto.[2] Karatasos had disembarked in Sithonia in April 1854 with 500 irregulars.[3] On 22 of April he launched attacks at an Ottoman encampment in Ormylia, but he faced a counter-attack by 300 bashi-bazouks and his forces retreated. The Ottomans ammased an army of 3,000 men which left Ormylia and marched on the insurgents.[3] In mid-May he fled to Athos and he gathered some volunteers, but was defeated at 28 May and withdrew to Dafni.[3] He also led an attack on Thessaloniki,[4] in which there also was a brief rebellion.[2]

Aftermath

After a brief capture of Karyes in Mount Athos, whose monks hadn't supported the rebellion, Karatasos and the other Greek rebels had to return to Athens on the French naval ship SS Solon.[3]

The consuls of the United Kingdom and France took over the protection of both the combatants and the non-combatants who had supported Karatasos from a possible Ottoman invasion of Mount Athos.
