Best Answer

Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union were part of the Warsaw Pact in the 1960s- an organization of the then-Communist states in Europe. In 1968 a leader of Czechoslovakia, Alexander Dubcek, decided to reform his country's military and media. He introduced forms of democracy. These were soon considered by the Soviet Union to be dangerous to the Communist Party and they thought the reforms would decrease the Party's power. Therefore, they attacked Czechoslovakia to prevent the reforms from going through, retaining their powerr.
