Question

what happened when the czechs tried to implement liberal reforms in 1968? the communist government was forced to step down. slovakia protested and blocked the proposed changes. the ussr and other warsaw pact nations invaded. czechoslovakian residents gained new civil liberties.

Explanation:

In 1968, Czechoslovakia attempted liberal reforms (Prague Spring). The USSR saw this as a threat to its control over Eastern - bloc countries. The Warsaw Pact (a military alliance led by the USSR) invaded Czechoslovakia to suppress the reforms. The communist government was not forced to step down in the long - term as the invasion restored a more pro - Soviet communist leadership. Slovakia was part of Czechoslovakia at the time and was not a separate entity blocking reforms in this context. The invasion reversed the gains of civil liberties that were being made during the Prague Spring.

Answer:

The USSR and other Warsaw pact nations invaded.
