The '''Prague Spring''' was a brief period of liberalization in [[Czechoslovakia]]in 1968 when Alexander Dubček took power. He attempted to reform the [[Communist]] state and institute "socialism with a human face". <ref>http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cold.war/kbank/profiles/dubcek/</ref> Alarmed at this course of events, the [[Soviet Union]], along with four other [[Warsaw Pact]] countries, sent tanks into Prague on August 21 of that year to end the Prague Spring, killing dozens. The Soviet Union falsely claimed that Czechoslovakia had requested military assistance. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/august/21/newsid_2781000/2781867.stm]
