Late July 1970
Because of the war with NATO, the Soviets had been unable to eliminate all the revolting military units in Germany and Czechoslovakia. Earlier this year, the revolt began spreading eastward into the inner ring of satellites. Even Rumania, the strongest supporter of Moscow's policies, experienced unrest this month.
When sabotage increased the Soviet supply problems, three Soviet forces became ineffective: the armies in Finland and Bulgaria and the fleet in Constantinople.
Greece, Norway, Sweden, and Yugoslavia were invited to join the European Union after they were liberated from Soviet control.
