The Rebellion of Ali Pasha refers to a rebellion from 1820 to 1822 of Ali Pasha of Tepelena against the Ottoman Empire after Sultan Mahmud II attempted to depose him.

Background

Ali Pasha governed the Pashalik of Yanina with almost complete autonomy for many years. He became de facto ruler over large parts of Epirus, southern Albania, and western Greece. While he was officially the Ottoman governor of the region, he behaved as an autonomous monarch, maintaining his own military force and conducting his own foreign policy. Mahmud II sought to recentralize the empire and eliminate powerful provincial leaders. In 1820, Sultan Mahmud II deposed Ali Pasha and commanded Ottoman troops to invade.

The Rebellion

Ali Pasha resisted and proclaimed his defiance in Ioannina. Highlights: - Ottoman forces besieged Ioannina. - Ali sought temporary alliance with Souliotes and some Greeks revolutionaries. - Battles took place throughout Epirus and neighbouring areas. Ali's troops resisted for almost two years.

Aftermath
