The Uprising of Dervish Cara (1843–1844; Albanian: Kryengritja e Dervish Carës)^[4]^[5] was a 19th-century uprising in northern Ottoman Albania directed against the Ottoman Tanzimat reforms which started in 1839 and were gradually being put in action in the regions of Albania. Some historians include the actions in Dibër of the same time under the same historical name, though the events in Dibër were independent and headed by other leaders.
