Cold War DBQ Essay Test due on Friday, March 4! This WILL NOT COUNT for the 5 week progress reports!

 Soviet satellites tried to revolt against their Communist gov’ts, but the Soviet Union put a stop to that!

1. Hungary Revolts

A. In 1956, a revolution led by Prime Minister Imre Nagy occurred in Hungary.

B. Nagy ended one-party rule, kicked out the Soviet troops, and on November 1 withdrew Hungary from the Warsaw Pact.

C. On November 4, the Soviet Union sent a massive amount of tanks and troops into Hungary.

D. Thousands died, and the revolt was suppressed.

 The Soviets charged Nagy with treason - he was secretly tried, found guilty, sentenced to death and executed by hanging in June His trial and execution were made public only after the sentence was carried out. Supposedly, Nagy was executed "as a lesson to all other leaders in socialist countries.“ He was buried in the yard where his execution was carried out face-down, and with his hands and feet tied with barbed wire.

2. The Invasion of Czechoslovakia

 Alexander Dubcek was a Czech politician who was part of the Communist Party; though he never turned his back on Communism, he wanted to introduce new reforms, calling it "socialism with a human face.”

A. In the spring of 1968, Alexander Dubcek called for liberal reforms and the easing of Soviet control. B. Czecho- slovakia even began to plan a new constitution!

 Other Communist leaders started to get nervous and started to warn Dubcek to stop trying to reform Czechoslovakia, but he didn’t listen!

C. The Soviet Union, however, ended all hopes of change in “Prague Spring,” arresting Dubcek and his followers.

 Dubček was taken to Moscow on a Soviet military transport aircraft; in January 1969, Dubček was hospitalized complaining of a cold and rumors sprang up that his illness was radiation sickness and that it was caused by radioactive strontium being placed in his soup during his stay in Moscow in an attempt to kill him, but this was never proven.

 These events made it very clear that the Soviet Union would use force whenever necessary to ensure the survival of Communism.

3. The Space Race

A. In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, a satellite, into orbit.

 Sputnik was about 23 inches in diameter and weighed approximately 183 pounds; it could orbit the earth in 96 minutes.
