HIS344H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 20: Brezhnev Doctrine, Warsaw Pact, Prague Spring
Document Summary
The end of cold war in the third world. None of the other states went through the same revolution as ussr. Ussr had to look inwards and not outwards. Ceased funding regimes, stopped paying as much attention to them. Brezhnev doctrine out sinatra "doctrine" in doing it "my way" Brezhnev doctrine was a mistake (imposing will on czechoslovakia) Admitted that ussr did not have a right to crush the czechoslovak attempt to build new society. Condemnation of 1956 & 1968 pravda: the cold war is over. First state to emerge as a non-communist state. East germany, the berlin wall - 9 november 1989. 10 years, 10 months, 10 weeks, 10 days. Many european states did not want to get involved in conflict. America said if there will be reunification, it has to have us help. Exchange the east mark for the deutch mark. East was super rich because of disparity in value.
