The Albanian revolt of 1912 (Albanian: Kryengritja e vitit 1912, "Uprising of 1912"), was the last revolt against the Ottoman Empire's rule in Albania and lasted from January until August 1912.^[1]^[2]^[3] The revolt ended when the Ottoman government agreed to fulfill the rebels' demands on 4 September 1912. Generally, Muslim Albanians fought against the Ottomans then governed by the Young Turks, an aggressively nationalist revolutionary group, in the incoming Balkan War.^[4]
