The revolt began as a student demonstration, which attracted thousands as they marched through central Budapest to the Parliament building, calling out on the streets using a van with loudspeakers via Radio Free Europe. A student delegation entering the radio building to try to broadcast the students’demands was detained. When the delegation’s release was demanded by the demonstrators outside, they were fired upon by the State Security Police (ÁVH) from within the building. As the news spread, disorder and violence erupted throughout the capital.
The revolt spread quickly across Hungary and the government collapsed. Thousands organised into militias, battling the ÁVH and Soviet troops. Pro-Soviet communists and ÁVH members were often executed or imprisoned and former prisoners were released and armed. Radical impromptu workers’councils wrested municipal control from the ruling Hungarian Working People’s Party and demanded political changes. A new government formally disbanded the ÁVH, declared its intention to withdraw from the Warsaw Pact, and pledged to re-establish free elections. By the end of October, fighting had almost stopped and a sense of normality began to return.
After announcing a willingness to negotiate a withdrawal of Soviet forces, the Politburo changed its mind and moved to crush the revolution. On 4 November, a large Soviet force invaded Budapest and other regions of the country. The Hungarian resistance continued until 10 November. Over 2,500 Hungarians and 700 Soviet troops were killed in the conflict, and 200,000 Hungarians fled as refugees. Mass arrests and denunciations continued for months thereafter. By January 1957, the new Soviet-installed government had suppressed all public opposition. These Soviet actions, while strengthening control over Eastern Europe, alienated many Western Marxists.
Public discussion about this revolution was suppressed in Hungary for more than 30 years. Since the thaw of the 1980s, it has been a subject of intense study and debate. At the inauguration of the Third Hungarian Republic in 1989, 23 October was declared a national holiday.

Mapinduzi ya Hungaria (Uharusi: Szovjet invádzi Hungaria) ni mapinduzi ya Hungaria (Hungaria) ya mwaka 1956 na mapinduzi ya Hungaria ya mwaka 1956 (Hungaria) ya mwaka 2013 na mapinduzi ya Hungaria ya mwaka 2013 (Hungaria) ya mwaka 2013 (Uharusi: Szovjet invádzi Hungaria). Ujumbe wa wanafunzi uliingia kwenye jengo la redio kujaribu kutangaza madai ya wanafunzi ulikamatwa. Wakati wajumbe walipoombwa kuachiliwa huru na waandamanaji nje, walipigwa risasi na Polisi wa Usalama wa Jimbo (ÁVH) kutoka ndani ya jengo hilo. Habari hizo ziliposambazwa, ghasia na jeuri zilienea katika jiji lote kuu. Uasi huo ulienea upesi kotekote Hungaria na serikali ikaanguka. Maelfu walipangwa katika vikosi vya wanamgambo, wakipigana na ÁVH na majeshi ya Sovieti. Wafuasi wa chama cha Sovieti na wanachama wa chama cha A.V.H. mara nyingi waliuawa au kufungwa gerezani na wafungwa wa zamani waliachiliwa na kupewa silaha. Halmashauri za wafanyakazi za haraka-haraka zilipora udhibiti wa manispaa kutoka kwa Chama cha Wafanyakazi wa Hungaria kilichokuwa kikitawala na kudai mabadiliko ya kisiasa. Serikali mpya ilifuta rasmi chama cha AVA, ikitangaza nia yake ya kujiondoa katika Mkataba wa Warsaw, na kuahidi kuanzisha tena uchaguzi huru. Kufikia mwisho wa Oktoba, mapigano yalikuwa karibu yamekoma na hali ya kawaida ikaanza kurudi. Baada ya kutangaza nia ya kujadili kuondolewa kwa majeshi ya Sovieti, Politburo ilibadilisha mawazo yake na kuhamia kukandamiza mapinduzi. Mnamo Novemba 4, jeshi kubwa la Sovieti lilivamia Budapest na maeneo mengine ya nchi hiyo. Upinzani wa Hungaria uliendelea hadi Novemba 10. Zaidi ya watu 2,500 wa Hungaria na askari 700 wa Sovieti waliuawa katika mapigano hayo, na watu 200,000 wa Hungaria wakakimbilia nchi nyingine. Kukamatwa kwa watu wengi na mashtaka yaliendelea kwa miezi mingi baada ya hapo. Kufikia Januari 1957, serikali mpya iliyowekwa na Sovieti ilikuwa imekandamiza upinzani wote wa umma. Hatua hizo za Sovieti, huku zikitia nguvu udhibiti juu ya Ulaya Mashariki, ziliwafanya wengi wa Marxist wa Magharibi wawe na wasiwasi. Majadiliano ya umma kuhusu mapinduzi hayo yalifichwa nchini Hungaria kwa zaidi ya miaka 30. Tangu miaka ya 1980, suala hilo limekuwa likijadiliwa sana. Baada ya kuanzishwa kwa Jamhuri ya Tatu ya Hungaria mnamo 1989, Oktoba 23 ilitangazwa kuwa sikukuu ya kitaifa. Chanzo: Wikipedia, iliyochapishwa chini ya GNU FDL.

Takwimu za taifa kwa ajili ya vita hivi huenda hazikuwa na uhakika au hazikuwa kamili.
