In 1953, Hungary, a communist state under Soviet influence, saw political shifts following Stalin's death. Imre Nagy was appointed to implement reforms but was later removed. Rákóczi's harsh rule led to tensions, especially with Yugoslavia. In 1956, protests erupted demanding reforms and Soviet withdrawal. Nagy returned, promising changes, but the Soviet Union invaded Hungary to suppress the uprising. The revolution ended with significant casualties and Nagy's execution, marking a period of repression and emigration.
