To what extent did the Soviet leadership have a choice in Hungary during the uprising of 1956?
Based on the Soviet Union’s perspective, they first had, and made the choice to not militarily interfere with the Hungarian uprising. Of course, this soon changed, and the Soviets based on minutes document, had found themselves in a position in which they had no other choice but to send tanks into Hungary, to surpass the uprising. There were multiple reasons why the Soviet Union felt the need to interfere in the uprising, but did they have the choice? One of the essential reasons why Nikita Khrushchev later sent in tanks into Hungary, despite having pulled out in the early start of the revolution, was mainly due to Nagy’s wish to withdraw from the Warsaw pact, after a year it was created. This made Khrushchev furious; due to the fact they were breaking the Warsaw Pact contract, and were violating the rules. Based on the minute’s document, this was Khrushchev primary reason to sending in the military into Hungary in order to capture Nagy. Did Khrushchev have a choice at this point? Khrushchev didn’t want other Eastern European countries to be influenced by Hungary, in their attempt to start a revolution, and leave the Warsaw Pact. In order for Khrushchev to show Eastern European nations he was still in power, he had no other choice but to fight the Hungarian rebels in order to discourage another revolution. The USSR was using Eastern European countries as factories, so that they would maintain a strong economy, and that was another reason behind Khrushchev not wanting Hungary to influence other nations into revolting. Due to the Hungarian revolution against the Soviet Union, the soviet police, and communist parties were hung in public, and murdered ruthlessly. This was also against the law, and Khrushchev found it absurd they would do such acts. Therefore in a Soviets prospective view on the situation, they believe they had no other choice but to interfere, due to Nagy’s
