brainstorming
It seems like every time I start delving into research, I discover that there's deeper and deeper to dig in order to get a complete picture of the subject in question. I'm doing some superficial Prague research tonight. But it's making me realize that it's not going to be superficial for long.
How did they get there? How did Czechoslovakia become a Soviet satellite so easily after World War II? Why did it take so long for the people to rise up and implement change? Why was liberalism and certain limited freedom viewed as a threat to the Communist system? What were the actual freedoms implemented and experienced by the citizens of Czechoslovakia during the Prague Spring? What impact did the Cold War have the inclination of Western states to intervene? Did the Warsaw Pact isolate Czechoslovakia and prevent outside nations from coming to its military aid? | ¶ 9:15 p.m.
