| In early 1968 Czechoslovakia’s Communist leaders introduced a reform movement that became known as the Prague Spring. Leaders of the Soviet Union were threatened by the reforms, and in August they sent Warsaw Pact troops to invade Czechoslovakia. Prague residents stoically resisted, but the occupation eventually managed to reestablish a tightly controlled Communist state loyal to the Soviet Union. | ||||||
