The 1854 revolt in Epirus was one of the most important of a series of Greek uprisings that occurred in Epirus during that period.^[1] When the Crimean War (1854–1856) broke out, many Epirotes, with tacit support from the Greek state, revolted against the Ottoman rule. Although this movement was supported by distinguished military personalities, the correlation of forces doomed it from the start, leading to its suppression after a few months.
