Karposh’s rebellion or Karposh’s uprising was a Christian anti-Ottoman uprising in the Central Balkans that took place in October 1689. Karposh, the rebellion leader, was born in the Sanjak of Üsküp in the then Rumelia Eyalet, Ottoman Empire, modern North Macedonia, probably in the village of Vojnik, under the name Petar. At a very young age, he escaped to Wallachia, present-day Romania, where he worked as a miner. Later, Karposh moved to the Rhodope Mountains, where he settled in the Dospat valley, becoming a notorious hajduk. After the army of the Holy Roman Empire advanced into the Ottoman Balkans, Karposh moved to the area of Znepole, and began to organise anti-Ottoman resistance detachments here.

The fire of Skopje started on 26 October 1689 and lasted for two days, burning much of the city; only some stone-built structures, such as the fortress and some churches and mosques, were relatively undamaged. The fire had a disastrous effect on the city: its population declined from around 60,000 to around 10,000, and it lost its regional importance as a trading centre. Many of them settled in the imperial capital, creating the Üsküp mahallesi.
