What would be the consequences of the West intervening on the side of the democratic (or democratic socialist) forces of Imre Nagy in 1956 and/or of Alexander Dubček in 1968? I don't think this would inevitably cause World War III.
Also, why did the West not intervene in OTL at all and let tanks crush civilian demonstrators and let Moscow commit a lot of human rights violations?
