Beginning of Croatian Spring, a time of renewed national identity and cultural pride.

In 1981, Croatia experienced the onset of the Croatian Spring, a significant period of national awakening marked by a surge in demands for political and cultural rights. This movement in Croatia reflected a desire for more autonomy within the country and a push for greater recognition of Croatian language and culture. The Croatian Spring brought about a resurgence of national identity and pride among the people, as they sought to assert their distinctiveness within the Yugoslav federation. This period saw widespread protests and calls for reforms, setting the stage for the later push towards Croatian independence. The Croatian Spring laid the foundation for Croatia's journey towards sovereignty and independence in the years that followed. #Croatia #CroatianSpring #nationalawakening #autonomy #independence
