Brezhnev Doctrine |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The name given in the West to the justification offered by the Soviet Union for its invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 (Brezhnev being the Soviet leader). The invasion, in which contingents from some other members of the Warsaw Pact were attached to Soviet forces, was a response to the desire of Czechoslovakia to follow a more independent line than the Soviet Union was willing to allow its satellites. The Doctrine was also frequently referred to in the West as one of ‘limited sovereignty’. See also sphere of influence. |
