  2. Learning Objectives • Building knowledge and understanding about the events of the Hungarian Uprising in 1956 • Using appropriate synthesis of information to make good notes on this topic • Applying contextual knowledge about the situation in Eastern Europe to understand why this event happened and evaluate why the Soviet Union responded in the way they did.

How did the Soviet Union respond to events in Hungary? • Khrushchev at first seemed prepared to accept changes but could not accept Hungary leaving the Warsaw Pact. • Nov 1956 Soviet troops and tanks enter Budapest. Two weeks of fighting take place with some 3,000 Hungarians killed and 7,000 – 8,000 Russians. • 200,000 Hungarians fled across border to Austria to escape Communist forces. • Imre Nagy and other leaders executed. • Western powers protested but did nothing – preoccupied with Suez Crisis. • JánosKádár placed as new leader of Hungary – arrested 35,000 anti-Communist protesters and executed 300. He did introduce some reforms but did not leave Warsaw Pact.
