Description:
This document is the record of a meeting of the leaders of the Soviet Union, Poland, East Germany, Hungary, and Bulgaria in Warsaw in 1968. The five Warsaw Pact countries arrive at a consensus on the likely need for military intervention in Czechoslovakia. Polish leader Władysław Gomułka is the most vocal critic, fearing that the spillover effect of the reform movement in Czechoslovakia would cause serious control problems in his own country, weaken the Soviet bloc, and possibly change the entire balance of power in Europe.
