Soviet invasion

The Soviet invasion refers to the USSR’s military intervention in a specific country or region, often to support a government or influence political outcomes aligned with Soviet interests during the Cold War. These invasions aimed to expand Soviet influence, prevent Western expansion, and promote communist ideologies. They involved deploying troops with organized military campaigns and often resulted in significant political and social upheaval. Notable examples include the invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and Hungary in 1956. These actions shaped international relations, heightened tensions, and led to prolonged conflicts, reflecting the USSR’s strategic efforts to maintain and extend its global influence.
