1956: 1956 Hungarian
Revolution
In
Oct. 1956, Hungarian rebels launched a revolt against Soviet forces. The rebels
won the first battle, declaring former premier Imre Nagy head of state and
requesting intervention from the United Nations. The next month, however,
Soviet aggressors stormed back in. In this image from Gabor B. Racz, the head
from Stalin's statue can be seen in the street after rebels toppled his
monument.
