On August 20, 1968, Soviet troops along with those from other Warsaw Pact nations—the Soviet version of NATO—invaded Czechoslovakia with the goal of quelling intensifying peaceful anti-Soviet protests and restoring order. More than 200,000 soldiers crossed into Prague and came to occupy the entire country in just over a day. Riots were crushed, and thousands of Czechs fled, while the West looked on in shock at the violent interruption of what had become known as the “Prague Spring.” The move was detrimental to U.S.-Soviet relations.

THE Aztec empire flourished between c. 1345 and 1521 CE and dominated ancient Mesoamerica. This young and warlike nation was highly successful in spreading its reach and gaining fabulous wealth, but then all too quickly came the strange visitors from another world.
Led by Hernan Cortés, the Spaniard’s formidable firearms and thirst for treasure would bring devastating destruction and disease. The Conquistadores immediately found willing local allies only too eager to help topple the brutal Aztec regime and free themselves from the burden of tribute and the necessity of feeding the insatiable Aztec appetite for sacrificial victims, and so within three years fell the largest ever empire in North and Central America.
