In 1956, a wave of protests erupted in Hungary, driven by demands for political reform and the withdrawal of Soviet troops stationed in the country since World War II. This movement, known as the Hungarian Revolution, sought greater autonomy and democratic freedoms, reflecting widespread discontent with the oppressive Soviet regime. Initially, the Soviet Union appeared to relent, but by November, they launched a military intervention, crushing the revolution and reaffirming their control over Hungary. The events highlighted the tensions within the Eastern Bloc and the struggle for independence from Soviet dominance.
