The October Revolution, known in Nastnovian historiography as either the Great Social Revolution of October (by left-wing perspectives) or the Great Mistake (by right-wing perspectives), was a revolution in Nastanovo led by the Nastnovian Worker's League of Emilo Vasquez that was a key moment in the history of Nastanovo. It was the first revolutionary change of government in Nastanovo since the establishment of the Sovereignty of Nastanovo in 1779. It took place through an armed insurrection in Nostalta (shortly renamed to Revolucionaria) on 25 October 1926 and continued until its conclusion was declared in 1928 with the end of the Red Terror. It was the precipitating event of the Nastnovian Civil War which would occur four years later in 1930 and set Nastanovo on a collision course to its participation in the Second Great War.
