oct 26, 1956 - Hungarian Revolution
Description:
In the autumn of that year, hundreds of thousands of Hungarians, in cities and the countryside, rose up against occupying Soviet forces and, critically, against the country's brutal, homegrown secret police, the State Protection Authority.
Roughly 3,000 Hungarian civilians—men, women, children—were killed during those three weeks.
