A ten day period = what

Hello every one. What do you call “a ten day period” in English?
In the slamic revolution of Iran there is a special ten days that starts from Bahman 12 to Bahman 22 since Imam Khomeini came back from exile to his country until the victory of the revolution happened. We call this particular ten days as " ??? ??? " in Iran.
??? ??? = ten days ended to victory
I want to know … What do you call a period of “ten days” in a month ?
Some nonnative English speakers “decade of victory” but I guess decade refers to a period of ten years not ten days.
Then ??? ??? = What?

As far as I know, there is no single English word for a ten-day period (note hyphen). "decade" means ten years, and it would be completely wrong to use it to mean ten days.

If there were, John Reed could have used it in his book about the Russian Revolution, "Ten Days that Shook the World."
