Rebellions of 20-21 July (20 Jul 1916 Jahr – 21 Jul 1916 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

As tension was mounting, numerous communal meetings and gatherings were called by the native administrators and popular leaders to discuss the draft. Between 7 and 8 July, for example, such meetings were held in the areas of Issyq-Ata and Kegety, and the Dzhail’myshevskaia, and Chemalganskaia volosts. The meetings were well attended; over 5,000 men and women gathered on 10 July in Ul’konzas.38 Crucially, because the meetings took place outside the cities and towns they went largely unnoticed by the authorities, allowing the local communities to establish a popular base for the rebellion.
