The unrest began with a series of student occupation protests against authoritarianism, monarchism, imperialism and traditional institutions. Heavy police repression of the protesters led the country's trade union confederations to call for sympathy strikes, which spread far more quickly than expected to involve 2.3 million people, more than 20% of the total population of Norvinia at the time. The movement was characterized by spontaneous and decentralized wildcat disposition; this created a contrast and at times even conflict internally amongst various faction and the parties involved. It was the largest protest ever attempted in Norvinia, and the first nationwide wildcat general strike. | The unrest began with a series of student occupation protests against authoritarianism, monarchism, imperialism and traditional institutions.

The Friction Days is a term used for a period of social and political turmoil in Norvinia that lasted from the late 1920s until the late 1930s, marked by a wave of both far-left and far-right incidents of political terrorism. Beginning in April 1917, a period of civil unrest occurred throughout the country, lasting some three years long and punctuated by mass demonstrations, general strikes, as well as the occupation of universities and factories. At the height of events, the economy and civil stability in the country became scarce. The protests reached such a point that most political leaders feared civil war or revolution; the royalist government swifted reacted to ceased out the unrest under King Mortimer's order which few years before had meddled in public welfare system and established strict rules of civil obedience.
