The Soviet Union crushed attempts at political reform in Hungary in 1956, as it feared that the reformist government was becoming too independent and threatened Soviet control of the country. Western governments were distracted by the Suez Crisis in Egypt at the time, which meant that they could not provide much support to the Hungarian rebels.
