For the Soviet Union, in the last period of its existence, it also tasted the pain of the wall being pushed down by everyone, and many of the Soviet Union's member states turned to the United States overnight, and some of the member countries also had anti-Soviet revolutions at home, including Czechoslovakia.""
Prague Spring
" on behalf of the representative.
In the late 1960s, the Prague Spring occurred in Czechoslovakia, when the entire country was intended to break away from Soviet control, and the Soviet side directly ordered troops to enter Czechoslovakia in order to prevent Czechoslovakia from "defecting", which is also known as this event
Invasion of Czechoslovakia
。
Czechoslovakia was once occupied by Germany during World War II, and after Germany's surrender in 1945, the Soviet Union helped Czechoslovakia to re-establish the country, when the Prague Spring incident occurred, on August 20, 1968, two Soviet military transport aircraft disguised as civil aviation airliners, reported to the Jack Tower that they had encountered an emergency and needed to be immediately forced to land in the Czech Republic, and when these two transport planes landed, the Soviet special forces hidden in the cabin immediately occupied the airport, after which the Soviet Union used the airport as a base. By August 23, the Soviet Union had disarmed all czech troops with little resistance, and the Czech president was forced to step down, and then the Soviet Union carried out a great purge of Czech government departments, 2 million people were implicated, and later the Soviet Union and the Czech Republic signed an agreement stipulating that Soviet troops could be stationed in the Czech territory, which completely ended the incident.
And many people are puzzled that the Czech army at that time had it
180,000
troops
Why was he disarmed by the Soviets with almost no resistance
this? In fact, there is no strong place in the Czech Republic to defend, and the Soviet armored forces are the most powerful in the world, the Czech Republic even if the country is exhausted, can not stop the Soviet attack, and on the other hand, the Czech army has actually been controlled by the so-called "advisers" of the Soviet Union, and has no combat effectiveness at all.
