The Croatian Spring was a political conflict which took place between 1967 and 1971 in the Socialist Republic of Croatia, at the time one of six republics comprising Yugoslavia and ruled by the League of Communists of Croatia (SKH). It was marked by a series of economic reforms, with reformers within the SKH aligning with the Croatian cultural society Matica hrvatska and coming into conflict with conservatives. A variety of grievances were aired, including demands for increased autonomy, opposition to real or perceived overrepresentation of Serbs in Croatia and whether the Croatian language was distinct from Serbo-Croatian.
