The main reason for the uprising of 1882 was the unresolved agrarian question .

The immediate cause of the uprising was the introduction of conscription in November 1881 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The vast majority of the rebels were peasants.

On the night of January 11, 1882, a group of armed peasants attacked the gendarme barracks in Ulog . Soon, an uprising swept Northeast Herzegovina and Southeast Bosnia. The center of the uprising of 1882 was located in Ulog, where the authority of the rebels, the Majlis , was created. In January-February, rebels led by Stoyan Kovachevich and Salko Forta attempted an attack on Focha and Trnovo (south and southeast Sarajevo ). However, their units, poorly armed and fragmented, could not succeed in fighting the superior enemy forces. In April 1882, Austro-Hungarian troops under the command of Field Marshal Iowanovic crushed the uprising.
