The Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact forces invaded Czechoslovakia in August 1968 to suppress the Prague Spring, a period of political liberalization and reform initiated by Czechoslovak leader Alexander Dubček. The reforms aimed to create "socialism with a human face," which threatened the Soviet hegemony in Eastern Europe. The invasion was justified by the Soviets as necessary to maintain stability and protect socialism, but it was widely condemned internationally as an act of aggression against a sovereign nation. Ultimately, the invasion reinforced the Soviet grip on Eastern Europe and stifled reform efforts across the region.
