Jelali revolts
Jelali revolts (Turkish Celalî ayaklanmaları), were a series of rebellions in Anatolia against the authority of the Ottoman Empire in the 16th and 17th centuries. The first revolt termed as such occurred in 1519, during sultan Selim I's reign, near Tokat under the leadership of Celâl, an Alevi preacher, and the name of the chief rebel was later used by Ottoman histories to define other uprisings of similar nature.
