The Log Revolution (Serbo-Croatian: Balvan revolucija / Балван револуција) was an insurrection which started on August 17, 1990, in areas of the Republic of Croatia which were populated significantly by ethnic Serbs.[2] A full year of tension, including minor skirmishes and sabotage, passed before these events would escalate into the Croatian War of Independence.
