7 Prague Spring (1968) Background: Czechoslovakia loyal to Moscow from 1948, but….. Soviet economic problems! 1968: Dubcek comes to power  “Action Program” for reform  free speech/press, travel to Western countries, Israel, economic decisions for consumerism Goal: Achieve socialism while respecting democratic past (distinct Czech. path to socialism!) Eastern Europe feared reforms spreading  1968 Warsaw Letter  Warsaw Pact ruled Czech had right to self-rule but challenges to socialism would NOT be tolerated Brezhnev pressures Dubcek to repeal reforms  No!  Warsaw Pact countries invade and took Prague  Dubcek steps down, is arrested, and forced to repeal reforms.
