Following World War II, Hungary faced tumultuous times marked by political upheaval and Soviet influence. The Soviet-backed Hungarian Communist Party rose to power, establishing a totalitarian regime by 1949. This period witnessed rapid industrialization, land reforms, and nationalization of industries. However, political dissent was suppressed, leading to the execution or imprisonment of perceived opponents. The 1947 Treaty of Paris formalized Hungary's territorial losses and imposed heavy reparations. Despite these challenges, Hungary experienced relative stability until the 1956 Revolution, which aimed to overthrow communist rule but was violently crushed by Soviet forces.
