1888 CE to 1899 CE

The Bulgarian-Greek-Serbian rivalry for Macedonia escalates in the 1890s, and nationalistic secret societies proliferate.

Macedonian refugees in Bulgaria found the Supreme Committee for Liberation of Macedonia, which favors Bulgarian annexation and recruits its own military force to confront Turkish units and rival nationalist groups in Macedonia.

In 1896 Macedonians found the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO), whose two main factions divide the region into military districts, collects taxes, drafts recruits, and uses tactics of propaganda and terrorism.
