By the late 1960s, the population began to swell and widespread poverty and homelessness ran rapid in the urban areas.
Also in the 1960s Ceausescu ended Romania's active participation in the Warsaw Pact (though Romania formally remained a member); he refused to take part in the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact forces, and actively and openly condemned that action.
In 1974, Ceauşescu added "President of Romania" to his titles, further consolidating his power.
