Communist Party of Czechoslovakia

The Communist Party of Czechoslovakia was a political party that promoted communist ideas, advocating for a society where resources and means of production were owned collectively. It was founded in 1921 and became the dominant political force after World War II, leading the government from 1948 until the country’s peaceful separation into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993. Under its rule, Czechoslovakia was aligned with the Soviet Union and experienced centralized control, limited political freedoms, and socialist economic policies, reflecting the broader influence of communist ideology during the Cold War era.
