Alexander Dubcek’s program for ambitious political and economic reform, his support from society, and finally the intervention of the Warsaw Pact in Czechoslovakia were the most significant expressions of the socialist world in 1968. While usually integrated into the global phenomenon of protest, or studied through national lenses, these events have received limited interest as a part of the transnational practice of socialist reform.

Historians have long described the fascist tendency to recast or idealize an imagined past, seen both in Benito Mussolini’s desire to create a new Rome and Adolf Hitler’s desire to make Germany “great” again. In Spain, after the loss of its colonies in 1898, the fascist Falange pushed a mythical vision of “Hispanidad,” a type of Spanish-Nationalism that attempted to recast the Spanish colonial period as benign.
