Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Rakovica Revolt is a name used for the revolt against Austria-Hungary aiming to establish an independent Croatian state. The revolt was named after Rakovica, where it initially took place in 1871. It was relatively unsuccessful, due to the sloppy organization and the fast reaction from the empire. It was launched by Eugen Kvaternik. The revolt actually began in the village Bröanci on November 8 1871, but was soon carried over to Rakovica. Kvaternik had planned to launch such a rebellion against what was then the Austrian Empire since 1859. However, he failed to secure allies in either Italy or Hungary to participate in the cause.
