Background: In October 1956, the Hungarians rose in revolt against the Soviet rule, which had oppressed their country for a long time at the hands of the Communist Party. Soviet forces quelled the revolution in two weeks; around 2,500 Hungarians died, including Imre Nagy, whom the insurgents had demanded to be appointed as the head of the government and who was later executed.
