My heart is always connected to Hungary, and I am Polish. They deserved more freedom from the repressive Soviets, just like us 🇵🇱🇭🇺🇵🇱🇭🇺🇵🇱🇭🇺

I was 10 in summer of '79 when we visited Budapest, one of the nicest cities from my childhood travels - there were still bullet holes from 1956. Then I was there year later just as strikes started in Poland. The Magyar people were very nice to us unlike the rest of the Eastern Block, which followed the Russians propaganda. Also while we stayed at one of camping grounds in Buda, a Dutch man helped us to rent a cottage house - I think he even payed for some of it, thanks whoever you are.

[@HistoryHustle]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Denielo5]

In addition: Frasisco Franco prepared spanish volunteers and was ready to help the revolution, but USA put pressure on Spain, not to do so to avoid global conflict.

[@HistoryHustle]

Thanks for sharing.

[@gancarzpl]

Thought that this uprising started as a students suport for the uprising in Poland, Poznan in June 1956.

[@HistoryHustle]

Also true.

[@mozeskertesz6398]

The whole first protest was started from a protest for the uprising in Poland

[@enzosw]

Regardless of view count...just know you do have viewers...and what is more important than views...is getting history and spreading knowledge out...keep on making these videos and don't be discouraged...learning a lot :0

[@HistoryHustle]

Thank you Enzo! I have loads of videos in the backlog. You'll see videos about Serbia, Bulgaria, Iceland, Denmark, Luxembourgh and much more. Thanks for the support!

@@HistoryHustle I discovered this channel through the Indonesian videos, currently catching up on the chinese series....serbia is on the next watchlist...have no knowledge about that country

[@HistoryHustle]

Great to hear, thanks. For some reason the Indonesian series did the best.

[@markmarot9026]

A very important mistake! It was not the protesters who fired at the communists. It was the local communists who fired at the croud and after this did the protesters get weapons and shot back.

[@HistoryHustle]

I see!

[@denest3435]

The Soviets waited a few days with invading because they feared intervention of western NATO countries. When this didn't happen they felt safe to reinvade.

[@HistoryHustle]

Thanks for the additional information.

[@karollorak7490]

Poland refused to participate in this intervention because of the eternal Polish-Hungarian friendship. One of the few morally correct behaviors of Polish communist governments

[@karimparra3741]

Thank for making this video! I was there 2 years ago and definitely felt the sovietic influence

[@HistoryHustle]

You're welcome. Although Budapest had been severely damaged after WW2 it's a beautiful city. Other Central and Eastern European cities were not that lucky and feel much more soviet like Warsaw, Minsk and Kiev. Still worth visiting though.

[@653j521]

The story of the Hungarian Olympic Water Polo Team in Australia in 1956 is epic.

[@HistoryHustle]

Have to check that.

[@luxembourgishempire2826]

Another great video Stefan. Keep it up.

[@HistoryHustle]

Thanks!

[@reginaldbauer5243]

Thank you Dwight D. Eisenhower for doing nothing and letting the Soviets roll into Austria, Czechslovakia, and Berlin (sarcasm)

[@HistoryHustle]

I see.

[@reginaldbauer5243]

@@HistoryHustle Americans + Soviets = post WW2 paradise (sarcasm). The Americans, as the British, didn't care if the Soviets took over eastern Europe. The Soviets, of course, would openly massacre people for the fun of it.

[@madmax6827]

That was part of the Yalta agreement.

[@A_10_PaAng_111]

0:14 That Soviet victory memorial sits directly across the street from the USA embassy (To your left)...on purpose of course. Anytime Putin visits Budapest he makes it a point to drive by it to make sure that it is still there and maintained. There was talk of moving it and/or dismantling it but Putin insisted that it be left alone.

[@HistoryHustle]

I've heard about that too!

[@denest3435]

Thank you for making this video. My father was deported too.

[@HistoryHustle]

I'm sorry to hear. What did he experience?

[@denest3435]

He was in a prisoners camp in Russia for 3 years, but not treated badly, local population gave the prisoners extra food in 1948 he was released and returned to Hungary. Our family fled to Netherlands in November 1956 after the reoccupation by the Russians.

[@ailona3578]

My father was executed in September 1948. "they' almost executed me as well at age 17, in 1947.

[@bencekovacs9126]

Great Vid love it. U are an underrated channel. But, u need a person to do a voice over no offense.

Oh no! His voice is one of the best parts!

[@mozeskertesz6398]

It was not the very same day, the 3rd Hungarian Republic (which is actually fourth) was declared on October 23rd, 1989, while the Berlin Wall was falled in november 7th. The houses are tabby with bullet impacts. Plus, the the brits stole a T-54 tank with the agree of Pál Maléter. So the Ordanance L7 was came from this event.

[@HistoryHustle]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@yank-tc8bz]

When this happened I asked my father (An Army Officer and Veteran or WW2 & Korea) if we would help. He said we can't as we would have to fight our way thru other Countries to aid them. And our Army was worn out from Korea

[@HistoryHustle]

I can understand.

[@madmax6827]

Europe was also worn out from WWI and yet they managed to start another bigger one some 20 years later.

Black fascism? You mean the blackshirts I guess..

@@HistoryHustle I mean Hitler , Mussolini , the dictatorships of Hungary and Romania ,Franco the military regiments in Latin America , in 60s and 70s From the other side Stalin , Mao , Pol Pot and the dictatorships , of Eastern Europe I read the majority of the Soviets was Mongols because they need cruel soldiers and said to them that they go to crush a fascist revolt And an other thing the Soviets put Katiusa rockets in the hills and bombarding the city but it seems hyperbolic to me

Budapest wasn't liberated it was conquered.
