It began on 5 January 1968, when reformist Alexander Dubček was elected First Secretary of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ), and continued until 21 August 1968, when the Soviet Union and most of Warsaw Pact members invaded the country to suppress the reforms.

This dual federation was the o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
