"Hungary's Fight for Freedom By the Editors of LIFE" is a special issue published in 1956 by LIFE, a pioneer of graphic magazines. The "Hungarian Revolution" broke out in 1956. After World War II, Hungary came under Soviet occupation and was forced to pay a large amount of reparations under the Treaty of Paris. Hyperinflation also occurred, and the domestic economy hit rock bottom. Meanwhile, the Soviet Union's rule strengthened and the people's dissatisfaction grew. Then the "Hungarian Uprising" broke out. The people fought for freedom, and the government asked the Soviet Union for help, and the fighting intensified, resulting in demonstrations in which more than 3,000 people were killed and more than 200,000 people fled into exile. This special issue of LIFE contains the series of events, including the famous image of a round hole in the national flag.
