Hungarian Uprising (23 out 1956 ano – 11 nov 1956 ano)

Descrição:

In 1956, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev attacked the ideals of previous leader Joseph Stalin. This encouraged a period of debate and criticism, leading to discontent, unrest and eventually fighting in Hungary in October. Rebels won initially, putting in a new premier (Imre Nagy) who promised a new, multi-party system, however the United Nations were reluctant to support them due to the risk of a global confrontation.

On November 4th, 1956, the Soviet Union successfully invaded Hungary to stop the revolution, and executed Nagy for treason. However, Stalin-type domination and exploitation did not return, and Hungary slowly moved toward internal autonomy.

The impact this had to the Soviet Union was that it showed, at least for a small time, that countries could survive and rebel against the Union. This led to further ideas of rebellion in the Communist Bloc.
