What was the goal of the Prague Spring revolution?

The goal of the Prague Spring revolution, which took place in 1968, was to implement a series of political reforms in Czechoslovakia aimed at increasing political freedom, liberalizing the economy, and promoting greater autonomy from Soviet influence. Led by Alexander Dubček, the movement sought to create "socialism with a human face," emphasizing democratic governance, freedom of the press, and individual rights. Ultimately, the reforms were met with a military intervention by Warsaw Pact forces in August 1968, which crushed the movement and reinstated a more repressive regime.
