What If the 1956 Hungarian Revolution Succeeded?

[@Thebiggerfish11]

My grandfather was one of the Hungarian rebels. He managed to escape to Austria on a bus. The only reason he wasn’t caught was because the Russian soldier checking identification got bored and left the bus before he reached my grandpas seat.

Another interesting effect of a successful Hungarian Revolution is, surprisingly, in Italy. Without the Soviet intervention, the left-wing alliance of the Italian Socialist Party and the Italian Communist Party would have remained, at least for some more years. This would have had massive implications for Italy and the West as a whole, considering that Italy had the biggest and most popular communist party in Western Europe (aside San Marino). Surely in the short term the alliance between the Italian Socialist Party and the Christian Democratic Party wouldn't happen, thus changing a big part of Italian political history until 1968. At that point it'd be interesting to see if the Prague Spring (if it happened at all in this timeline) would do what the 1956 Hungarian Crisis did in our timeline for the leftist coalition in Italy. It is possible that at that point the Italian Communist Party would have distanced itself from Moscow enough to keep the coalition stable and that could mean a communist lead government in the 70s (when in our timeline the PCI reached it's peak in popularity, becoming the first party in Italy for two consecutive elections). That could have caused either an anti-leftist coup akin to what happened in Chile and Greece, or, if the West decided to allow the government to exist, it would have probably marked a new era of European leftist politics. Maybe Eurocomunism, or Eurosocialism would have been more popular and the Western half of the continent would have been changed too

[@xano2921]

The US would've never let it happen, they got their hands dirty in the internal politics of every country they deemed "theirs". With the Operation Stay-Being, in Italy called "Gladio" they never allowed communists to get to the government, and sponsored multiple attempts at coup-de-êtat by fascists.

[@thatguywhosenameyoukeepmis9450]

Maybe if the PCI's coalition partners forced them to stay in NATO or the EU, maybe Eurocommunism and socialist currents would be seen in a better light across the Western world, maybe a successful Pro-Western yet Communist-Socialist government would do away with the Red Scare at least a tiny bit.

I love the idea of a neutral Germany being united. Since the split would have been very short the east west split in culture and economy/infrastructure etc. would be basically nonexistent

[@thatguywhosenameyoukeepmis9450]

It would be an interesting change to German politics as well. The SED would coexist with the SPD, and since it is likely reunification would have to have a democratic government in place, the SED could become a far stronger version of the Die Linke or PDS. One could see an Italy-style situation where the SPD and SED gain enough seats in the 60s, with Brandt becoming chancellor during the '61 or '65 elections with SED as a coalition partner. Or if SPD-SED relations were still too strained, then the GroKo would still be formed, just maybe without the FDP. That could have consequences for FDP and make them a much more minor party. Maybe they become desperate enough that they align with Counterculture and absorb most of it, becoming a libertarian green party. The possibilities are endless!

[@derorje2035]

it is very unlikely. Stalin tried that already in 1952(->Staline note). Not only did the western allies oppose ist, the ruling West German Conservatives opposed the note. And because the Social Democrats (who were in favour of the note) didn't come to power until 1969, unification would be almost impossible.

My grandfather was 9 during the revolution. He was in a children's home when the soviet troops started storming the city. A few soldiers even approached the children1s home too. HE was in the kitchen, dishing plates, when a soviet soldier rushed in the kitchen and immediately grabbed his gun and aimed at my grandpa, because he thought that he is making landmines. luckily he didn't get harmed and continued to live his life. Currently he is 77 years old, has a loving family, and had an adventurous life.

Little correction about Poland in 0:38 . Man in the picture is Bolesław Bierut, a staunch Stalinism. He actually ruled for 3 more years after Stalin's death (where for an example city of Katowice wa renamed to Stalingród) and died in 1956 in Moscow (it was after Khrushchev's famous "On Cult of Personality" speech) that he died. After that Edward Ochab became the leader of PZPR (Polish communist party) and he was the one who got deposed after the 1956 protests in Poznań. The 1956 protests where (in my opinion at least) more economically oriented rather than politically (though any protest at that time was anti-goverment either way) so I wouldn't say the choice of Gomułka was due to people. Rather it was the choice done by more moderate part of PZPR (know as Puławianie) which decided on it. I know this is a small oversimplification but as a Pole I felt a need to correct it.

If the hungarian revolution succeded, it would have changed Romania's course as well.

And two years after that, Krishchev decided to pay back the romanians's help by removing all the soviet troops who were stationed there since ww2. This was important, because without troops atound, the communist goverment in Bucharest was able to act more independently from Moscow.

Hi! I sometimes watch your videos, and I'd like to give a suggestion: What if Ivan the Terrible didn't kill his Heir? I am asking this because there hasn't been a hugely developed scenario involving the continuation of the Rurik dynasty. Ivan Ivanovich (the Terrible's heir) married 2 wives that were sent to a convent, the last one he married was beaten by Ivan the Terrible until she miscarried. Her husband came into the room to confront him, only ending with Ivanovich getting hit in the head with the Terrible's scepter. His heir would die of the injuries 2 days later. But let's say that Ivanovich's 2nd wife was able to get pregnant in 1575, giving birth to Ivan VI. The confrontation from OTL would not have happened as a result, leaving a legitimate successor to the Russian throne, and continuing the Rurik dynasty (which also prevents the Romanovs from taking power). I am making a timeline for this; it's called Golden Tsardom.

In another time line, the testing of all military tech, including nuclear weapons triggered a all out alien invasion. 1952: In our time line, Washington DC was involved in a MAJOR UFO incident that resulted in the implementation of the Robertson Panel protocol to "educate" the public about what these things are allegedly about. In another time line, this was when aliens actually invaded Earth. Ronald Reagan in the UN: In this time line, it was him trying to lessen Cold War problems when he made a speech about aliens in his own way. In another time line, he actually reveals that aliens are real and are comming to take Earth, just like in really bad sci-fi movies. 1997: The Phoenix UFO Incident. In our time line, this was ruled out as combat flares. In another time line, the incident was part of a alien invasion. Early 2000s: Several news outlets show UFOs in gun/ missile camera footage. This was appearantly ruled as a ?. In another one, this was shown on several news outlets as part of news about a alien invasion, like that shown in real life sci-fi movies. Strange things were allegedly spotted during nuclear weapons testing all over the world. These were ruled explainable, such as double exposure and the like. In another time-line, aliens start shooting all nukes then invade Earth.😮🤯😱 One could have literal fun with these scenarios.

Here's an interesting thought: had Hungary won and gradually improved western relationships until the fall of the Soviet Union Carpathian Ruthenia may have been ceeded to Hungary as Ukraine was being created. Later on, potentially as a punishment for Serbia due to their actions in the later Balkan war, Vojdovina may have also been re-attached. This in my opinion would have led to increased nationalism in Hungary over the next 30 years and several peaceful deals may have been done with Slovakia, Slovenia and some other neighbouring countries to purchase territories near the border with Hungarian majority populations.
