ABSTRACT

Europe has become the strategic focus of intense contention for world hegemony between Soviet revisionist social-imperialism and US imperialism. The Moscow-controlled Warsaw Treaty Organization has a special role to play in this rivalry. Since Soviet revisionism embarked on the road of social-imperialism, the Warsaw Treaty Organization, founded in 1955, has become more and more a tool of the Soviet Union to go the United States one better in Europe and further its ends, expansion and aggression, there. To maintain its colonial rule in Eastern Europe, Soviet revisionism even went to the length of resorting to force through the Warsaw Treaty Organization and launching undisguised military aggression against a member state. The salient case is the armed occupation of Czechoslovakia in August 1968. The incident thoroughly exposed the aggressive and reactionary nature of the Warsaw Treaty Organization and also bared the sinister motives of Soviet revisionist social-imperialism in manipulating the organization.
