The Husino rebellion (Serbo-Croatian: Husinska buna, Хусинска буна)[a] was a short-lived miners strike and armed rebellion against industrial slavery in the newly established Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. 7,000 miners from Tuzla, Breza and Zenica mines in central Bosnia, participated in the strike in the village of Husino near Tuzla. When the local government tried to force the miners back to work, they resisted with firearms and the uprising was eventually suppressed with great violence. Seven miners were killed and four hundred were arrested. The uprising was suppressed, but its memory was preserved as part of Tuzla's anti-authoritarian legacy. The rebellion has been called one of the most important historical events in Yugoslavia and has remained an example of class struggle against injustice and oppression.
