aug 20, 1949 - Hungary is overtaken by communism

Description:

Hungary was governed by the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party, which was under the influence of the Soviet Union after the 1944 Moscow Conference during which Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin had agreed that after the war Hungary was to be allocated to the Soviet Union.

The Cold War Concept that this event matches to is Expansionism. This is because the USSR wanted to grow as large as possible in order to maximize its power.
