Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization founded in Thessaloniki

IMRO was founded in 1893 in Ottoman Thessaloniki by anti-Ottoman Macedono-Bulgarian revolutionaries aiming for autonomy.

The specific date of October 23, 1893, is a legacy hint but not confirmed by the supplied passages, which only state the year 1893.
