An anti-Communist revolution broke out in Budapest in 1956. Students
wanted freedom of the press, free elections and an end of the secret police.
Bloody fights between the students, workers and the Hungarian troops under
general Maleter followed. The Communists set up a coalition government
and the former Premier Nagy was the head of it. The Hungarian government
left the "Warsaw Pact" and because of this Russian troops intervened in
Budapest to save the Communist system. In the fights many people were killed
and there were a lot of refugees.
