The unsuccessful liberation actions in the Pijanec region (1878), the Kresna Uprising (1878/79) and the so-called Ohrid Plot (1880/81), the Berlin Congress and Macedonia remaining within the Ottoman Empire, the increased violence, the instability of the Ottoman state as a whole, immigration of Muslim refugees into Macedonia – resulted in a large wave of emigration of the Macedonian population.
