Hungarian Civil War

The Hungarian Civil War, occurring from 1918 to 1920, was a conflict that followed World War I and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It pitted revolutionary communist forces, led by Béla Kun and the Hungarian Soviet Republic, against counter-revolutionary factions, including the National Army backed by foreign powers. The war was marked by intense struggles over governance and ideology, reflecting broader tensions in post-war Europe. Ultimately, the communist government was overthrown, leading to the establishment of a rightist regime and significant political instability in Hungary for years to come.
