Hungarian Soviet Republic

The Hungarian Soviet Republic was a short-lived, communist government in Hungary from March to August 1919, established after World War I amidst political turmoil. Led by Béla Kun, it aimed to create a socialist society by nationalizing industries and land, and implementing radical reforms. However, it faced opposition from both internal and external forces, leading to its collapse after a few months. The period was marked by intense political upheaval, social experimentation, and violent repression, significantly influencing Hungary’s subsequent political landscape.
