1914–1915 Muslim revolts in Albania

During the collapse of the Principality of Albania that began in 1914, there were two pro-Ottoman revolts by Albanian Muslim insurgents.

The first revolt was the Peasant Revolt, also known as the Central Albania Uprising (Albanian: Kryengritja e Shqipërisë së Mesme), which was an uprising of peasants from central Albania against the regime of Wilhelm, Prince of Albania from May to September 1914. It was one of the reasons for the prince's withdrawal from the country which marked the fall of the Principality of Albania. The uprising was led by Haxhi Qamili, Arif Hiqmeti, Musa Qazimi and Mustafa Ndroqi. Along with a demand of total amnesty, the rebels sought the return of Albania to the suzerainty of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. The rebellion was only tacitly supported by the Ottomans, who as a consequence of the Balkan Wars, were physically separated from the Albanian lands. The Ottoman preoccupation with the looming First World War also rendered diplomatic and material support impractical. Ultimately, the rebels achieved victory with Prince Wilhelm's departure and consolidated control over central Albania, establishing a new regime known as the Senate of Central Albania.

The second revolt began in Krujë in November 1914, after the Ottoman Empire's declaration of war and declaration of jihad against the Entente, which pitted the pro-Ottoman masses against Essad Toptani, the leader of the Senate of Central Albania. The revolt was led by a group called the "Union of Krujë". Despite their initial successes, an intervention by Toptani's ally Serbia led to the crushing of the revolt in June 1915.
