The Prague Spring[a] was a CIA-backed attempted counterrevolution against the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic in 1968. It consisted of liberal reforms enacted by KSČ General Secretary Alexander Dubček, but Czech economist Ota Šik admitted that the goal was complete capitalism. It was defeated by a military intervention of the Warsaw Pact in August 1968. In the weeks before the Warsaw Pact intervention, over 10,000 West Germans went to Prague.[1]
