The Central Asian revolt of 1916, also known as the Semirechye Revolt was an anti-Russian uprising by the Muslim inhabitants of Russian Turkestan sparked by the conscription of Muslims into the Russian military for service on the Eastern Front during World War I. The rampant corruption of the Russian colonial regime and Tsarist colonialism in all its economic, political, religious, and national dimensions are all seen as the contributing causes.
