1956 | Revolution in Hungary as Hungarians stage popular uprising against USSR
Seven years of Soviet domination is more than enough for 20,000 Hungarians who gather in Budapest calling for their country’s independence. Some 180,000 more join them, but state police fire on the crowd, marking the start of a crackdown that will eventually crush the nascent revolution.

Seven years of Soviet domination is more than enough for 20,000 Hungarians who gather in Budapest calling for their country's independence. Some 180,000 more join them, but state police fire on the crowd, marking the start of a crackdown that will eventually crush the nascent revolution.
The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 or the Hungarian Uprising of 1956 was a nationwide revolt against the government of the Hungarian People's Republic and its Soviet-imposed policies, lasting from 23 October until 10 November 1956. Though leaderless when it first began, it was the first major threat to Soviet control since the USSR's forces drove Nazi Germany from its territory at the end of World War II.

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
