The Tukums Uprising (in Latvian: Tukuma sacelšanās), also called the Tukums War, was an armed uprising against the Russian rule in the city of Tukums, today Latvia.[1]

During the uprising, the rebels created a temporary republic: the Republic of Tukums. Although, the republic would last only for three days, before getting annexed back by the Russian Government.[2]
