After the fall of the Prague Spring, what was Dubček's political fate?

  • Became President

  • Exiled to Siberia

  • Ambassador to the UN

  • Expelled from the Party

Answer

Dubček's political career met an unfortunate end following the Prague Spring, the period of political liberalization in Czechoslovakia. He was expelled from the Communist Party and stripped of all his official positions. Dubček's removal from power was a direct consequence of the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968, which aimed to suppress the reformist movement and reassert Moscow's control over its satellite state.
