The Soviet Red Army liberated Hungary from the Nazis and afterwards the Soviets started to influence the domestic politics and from 1948, Hungary was forced to build Socialism as a transitionary period before Communism. When in 1956 the Hungarian Revolution broke out against the Soviet rule, the Soviets sent troops and tanks to destroy the revolution. They wanted to keep Hungary on their side, i.e. among the Communist countries. The Soviets were afraid that similar revolution would break out in the other Communist countries: Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia, German Democratic Republic, and Poland.
