Alexander Dubček's plan to reform Czechoslovakia, known as the Prague Spring, primarily aimed to establish "socialism with a human face" through political liberalization, economic reforms, and greater personal freedoms. However, his plan did not include a withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact or a complete transition to a capitalist system. Additionally, it did not encompass a radical restructuring of the Communist Party's control over the government, which ultimately led to the Soviet invasion in 1968 to suppress these reforms.

Alexander Dubček's reform plan for Czechoslovakia, known as "Socialism with a Human Face," aimed to introduce political liberalization, increased freedom of speech, and economic reforms. However, it did not include a move towards a complete transition to capitalism or the establishment of a multiparty political system. Instead, Dubček sought to maintain the Communist Party's leadership while implementing reforms. His vision was more about democratizing socialism rather than replacing it entirely.
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.
The leader of Czechoslovakia for most of the 1960s was Antonín Novotný. He served as a communist leader from 1957-1968. He was followed by Ludvík Svoboda, who served from 1968-1975.

The other nation which formerly was part of Czechoslovakia is called Slovakia.
When Adolf Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia, a man called Neville Chamberlain gave Adolf a part of Czechoslovakia and Neville said to Adolf to take this part of Czechoslovakia and don't ask for more. But of course after a while Adolf took the whole of Czechoslovakia. Then he went on to invade Poland.

It was part of Czechoslovakia from 1919 until 1945, when the Soviet Union annexed it. Hungary had seized a large part of it in 1938, and held it until driven out by the USSR army.
