Abstract
At the end of the Second World War in 1945 the former Czechoslovakia had proportionately one of the largest communist parties in Europe. A distinctive feature of postwar Czechoslovak history has been the attempt of communists in the former Czechoslovakia to create a form of democratic communism, a process culminating in the Prague Spring of 1968. The crushing of the Prague Spring in 1969 by the armed forces of the Soviet Union and various other Warsaw Pact countries resulted in the widespread rejection of communism by the Czechoslovaks.
