23 October marks the beginning of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, also known as Hungarian Uprising.
Born as a student protest in Budapest, the revolt quickly turned into a nationwide revolution against the Hungarian communist regime, but did not last long, as it was brutally crushed by the Soviet troops.
Since 1989, the Hungarian government adopted 23 October as a national holiday.
