A detailed description of the establishment of the communist regime in Hungary. Hungary was the last ally of Nazi Germany, and as such suffered dreadful destruction during the last year of the war. The war discredited the political and social elite and gave opportunity for a new beginning. Early optimism in democratic circles, however, quickly dissipated. Within a short time, the communists, with negligible indigenous support, but helped by the Soviet Army managed to destroy any organized opposition to their taking power.
