In reply to: Revised Eisenhower Topic 's message, "Mr. Davis" on Friday, February 08, 10:09:55am

I think the most significant foreign policy event that happened during Eisenhower's terms was the Hungarian Revolution. I think Eisenhower should have helped them out at little. I don't really understand why he didn't, because everything Truman and Eisenhower have been doing up to this point, was to help get European coutries away from communism. During WWII the Russians came into Hungary to help free them from Nazi control; but instead, ended up taking control themselves. But then people started to revolt against Russian Communism. Then on October 24, 1956 Imre Nagy, the new prime misister, asked Khrushchev to remove Russian troops, and she did. But less than two weeks later she sent in 1000 tanks and captured Hungary agian. She made Janos Kadar the new Prime Minister who was a supporter of Russia(http://www.johndclare.net/cold_war14.htm).
America didn't send any help, and I'm not sure why. Maybe Eisenhower did want to create more problems with the soviets, or maybe the Hungarians weren't trying to get away from communism, only get away from the Russians. But we were fighting against communism, so if the Hungarians were trying to get away from commuisim, then I don't see how this situation was different, and why we didn't help.
