21 agos 1968 anni - End of Prague Spring

Descrizione:

In Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (CSSR), reformist Alexander Dubcek had risen as leader and granted additional rights and freedoms, loosened restrictions on the media, speech, and travel, and limited the powers of the secret police. His plan included a 10-year transition to a democratic state with a good relationship with the Western World. The reactions from the communist bloc countries grew critical and the Soviet Union began talking to the Czechoslovakian government, to be able to understand the reason for all the reforms that occurred. The talks failed and this led to the Eastern Bloc armies of four Warsaw Pact countries to invade and occupy the CSSR. It only took a year to return the reforms back to normal.
