Hungary's Freedom Died in 13 Days - The Revolution That Shocked the WorldAdded:
13 days. That's all it took for the world to watch freedom die on live television. In 1956, Hungarian students rose up against Soviet rule, briefly overthrowing their communist government. But Moscow wasn't having it. 200,000 Warsaw Pact troops [music] and 2,500 tanks rolled into Budapest. The world watched helplessly as brave freedom fighters threw Molotov cocktails at Soviet armor. These brutal images showed the West exactly what Soviet liberation really meant. The Hungarian Revolution failed, but it exposed the true face of the Iron Curtain forever.
