In Czechoslovakia, the "Prague Spring"

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Prague Spring was brought to an abrupt end by the Red Army, which invaded Czechoslovakia in August 1968 to suppress the liberal reforms and reinstall a hardline communist government. It did not permanently end communism, establish a long-lasting democratic government, or receive support from East Germany and Romania. While Gorbachev's reforms in the 1980s led to more openness in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, he did not support the Prague Spring as it occurred over a decade earlier.
