reference to the 1956 anti-Soviet uprising in
Hungary.
Following World War II (1939-1945) a
Communist regime was established in
Hungary. However, the Hungarians protested the
presence of the Soviet troops and in 1956 violence
erupted when Hungarian
police fired shots into a crowd during a peaceful
student demonstration in
Budapest. The students were demonstrating against the Soviet troops and in support of a Polish
revolt earlier that same year. As a result, fighting
broke out across the nation and a national
revolt ensued. While the
revolt was suppressed by the Soviets within a few weeks, the events of 1956 were said to have had a profound
effect upon
Communism outside the Soviet bloc.

Vienna, you see, or-after the Hungarian thing, and so forth.
