The Second Blue Revolution were a series of demonstrations in Gjorka following the 1971 Gjorkan Coup d'etat, and Austin Tannerburg's announcement of the return of Gjorkan democracy. Following this announcement, protesters around Gjorka flooded the streets in celebration. Military Units had been mobilizing in response to Tannerburg's coup to perform a counter-coup however following his announcement mass desertions followed causing them to disband. Tannerbug initially attempted to suppress these protests as he had no actual intention of restoring democracy since it was simply a ploy to prevent a counter-coup. However, the sheer magnitude of protestors forced Tannerburg to concede and allow for a transition period to take place. On November 11, 1972 the Third Gjorkan Republic was declared, and democracy was restored to Gjorka.
