The initial aim of the rising was to create an independent state in the vilayet of Monastir (Bitola), and then to extend the free area to the whole of Macedonia. The appeal was not only to the Slavs, but also to 'Turks, Albanians and Moslems' who suffered under the Ottoman yoke. A 'republic' was established in the town of Kruševo, but the revolt was ruthlessly suppressed after only eleven days.

"The Uprising in 1903 had involved mainly Slav-speaking Christians with the assistance of the Vlah population. Albanian villagers had largely found themselves either under threat from VMRO četas or recruited into the Ottoman effort to crush the Uprising."

The long-awaited revolt began at dusk on Sunday, 2 August 1903, Saint Elijah's Day – or Ilinden. The insurrection was confined to Bitola Vilayet because, according to one source, it was farthest from Bulgaria, a factor designed to show the Great Powers that the revolt was purely a Macedonian phenomenon.

In order to explain the meaning of the caricature, we consulted with Dr. Vancho Gjorgjiev from the Institute of History at the Faculty of Philosophy in Skopje... In the caricature, the part where "Bulgaria" tries to cut off the head of "Macedonia" actually refers to Bulgarian diplomatic activities, as well as its duplicitous role in the insurrectionary movement in Macedonia... Bulgarian circles manipulated the term autonomous Macedonia, i.e. they sought for Macedonia to gain autonomy and then join the Bulgarian state. To achieve this goal... aimed at artificially staged insurrectionary movements in Macedonia, such as the so-called Gorna Dzhumaya Uprising of September 1902. The organizer... was the Supreme Macedonian Committee headed by Stoyan Mihaylovski and General Ivan Tsonchev, who acted in agreement with the Bulgarian government and Prince Ferdinand... The biggest consequence of the Supremists movement is that it greatly influenced the rise of the Ilinden Uprising in 1903... the Bulgarian government, which bore the burden of the Gorna Dzhumaja Uprising, with the intention of absolving itself of responsibility for future unrest in Macedonia, adopted a decision to administratively ban the Supreme Macedonian Committee... Bulgaria's duplicity did not end there... on February 5, 1903, the Bulgarian government... asked the leaders of the Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (MRO) to abandon the planned uprising... However, the refusal of the Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (MRO) to postpone the uprising at the request of Bulgaria is a demonstration of an independent Macedonian character... The part of the caricature where "Russia" is depicted refers to the diplomatic games of the Great Powers over the Macedonian question. Under the pressure of the uprising, two concepts for resolving the Macedonian question emerged among European diplomacy, the English one through autonomy and the Austrian one through reforms. During the diplomatic games, the Austrian concept prevailed. Austria-Hungary, supported by Germany, turned to Russia. The two Great Powers began negotiations at the highest level, which lasted from September 30 to October 3... The so-called Mürzsteg Reforms emerged from these negotiations.
