Detailed explanation-1: -What caused the uprising in Hungary? In 1956 the people of Hungary began to protest about their lack of basic political freedoms, e.g. to vote, or free speech. They also were angry at fuel shortages and poor harvests – nothing makes people more likely to riot against the government than if they are cold and hungry!
