Beschreibung:

The first major test of the Warsaw Pact, the USSR's counter to NATO, the Hungarian Revolution was an attempt to establish a non-communist government in the Soviet satellite state. Despite a spirited defense of the nation, Warsaw Pact forces rolled into the nation, suppresssed the rebellion, purged the leaders, and re-established Soviet control without any NATO intervention, setting a precedent for spheres of influence.
