Definition
- Prague Spring is the name given to the movement to effect political and economic reforms in Czechoslovakia in 1968. Although this movement, which was led by Communist Party First Secretary Alexander Dubček, enjoyed widespread popular support from Czechs and Slovaks and sought to strengthen the nation's socialist system, it was crushed by an invasion of the Soviet Union and four other Warsaw Pact nations.
