Project Description
After its victorious Freedom Fight, Hungary was an independent, free, and neutral nation for 13 days, from October 23 until November 4, 1956, when the Soviet Union attacked it with full military force. The “Free World” did not support Hungary’s efforts to become free, and the Soviets, in retaliation for the revolution, launched a full-scale invasion against the nation and its people. The streets of the capital became slippery with Hungarian blood as the nation’s freedom, and its people, were murdered. This painting is part of the Hungarian millecentennial historical suite in the Museum of Hungarian Military History in Budapest.
