The Hungarian Revolution of 1919 was a short-lived communist uprising that occurred in Hungary after World War I. It began in March 1919 when the Hungarian Soviet Republic was established, led by Béla Kun. The revolution aimed to implement socialist reforms and redistribute land and wealth among the working class. The government faced opposition from both internal and external forces, including the Romanian Army and various political factions. By August 1919, the revolution was suppressed, leading to the fall of the Soviet Republic. This event marked a significant moment in Hungary's turbulent history and influenced its political landscape for years to come.
