Why didn't Romania join the invasion of Czechoslovakia of 1968?

Why didn't Romania join the invasion of Czechoslovakia of 1968? As the Soviet Union worked tirelessly to keep the Iron Curtain up and strong after the second world war, Czechoslovakia unintentionally became a threat to this objective. As a satellite state of the Union, Czechoslovakia was meant to remain a firm communist-led country, just like the rest of the Eastern Bloc. So, when a new Czech government began a process of reform known as the “Prague Spring”, the Soviet Union quickly became concerned. In hopes of quelling these liberating reform efforts, the Soviets reached out to their Warsaw Pact allies to plan an invasion into Czechoslovakia and intervene. Poland, Bulgaria, East Germany, and Hungary subsequently threw their support behind this Soviet plan - but two nations refused to do so. Both Albania and Romania were unwilling to join the invasion, and Romania’s Nicolae Ceaușescu went out of his way to condemn the operation. So what made Romania so unwilling to join the Warsaw Pact Invasion of Czechoslovakia?... ♦Consider supporting the Channel on Patreon:   / knowledgia   ♦Please consider to SUBSCRIBE : https://goo.gl/YJNqek ♦Background music by Epidemic Sound ♦Sources : Promises of 1968: Crisis, Illusion, and Utopia by Central European University Press : https://amzn.to/3cUPoPd The Greengrocer and His TV: The Culture of Communism after the 1968 Prague Spring by Cornell University Press: https://amzn.to/3cRPl70 1968: The Year That Rocked the World by Ballantine Books : https://amzn.to/3xoZ6RQ https://www.globalsecurity.org/milita... ♦Script & Research : Skylar Gordon #History #Documentary #ColdWar
