The invasion of the Warsaw Pact troops in August 1968 was the largest military action in Europe since the end of World War II. On the night of August 20-21, 1968 Warsaw Pact armies invaded the territory of Czechoslovakia. Five socialist countries took part in an operation codenamed 'Danube' - the Soviet Union, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria and the German Democratic Republic, the last of which didn't actually participate in the invasion.
The main purpose of the operation was to suppress efforts led by Alexander Dubček to reform socialism in Czechoslovakia. | Slovenské veľvyslanectvo v Spojenom kráľovstve / Slovak Embassy in UK
