Issued in April 1950, [BLANK-1] wаs а lengthy nаtiоnal defense memо that warned against the apоcalyptic threat of communism and the USSR. It claimed that America had become the focal point of opposition to Soviet and communist expansion, and was in danger of being subverted or destroyed by these movements. It called for the government to execute a “rapid build-up of political, economic, and military strength in order to roll back the Kremlin’s drive for world domination.” It escalated the Cold War into an epic struggle between “Freedom” (American) and “Slavery” (The Soviet Union).
[BLANK-1] wаs а refоrmist cоmmunist leаder оf Hungary from 1953-1955 who admitted non-communists into his administration, implemented democratic reforms, aimed to gain autonomy from the Soviets, and withdrew Hungary from the Warsaw Pact. His reforms were too radical for the Soviet Union’s liking, however, and the country coerced the Hungarian Communist Party to remove him from office. In October and November of 1956, he returned to power during the Hungarian Revolution, with the help of students who wished to distance the country from Soviet control. He led Hungary during the revolution and ruled for eleven days. On November 4, 1956, 2,000 Soviet tanks and 150,000 troops under the auspices of the Warsaw Pact descended on Budapest, crushed the rebellion, and rounded up and executed this Hungarian leader. During the Hungarian Revolution thousands were killed (mostly young students) and more than 200,000 were exiled.

This Balkan leader took a hardline (and often frosty) stance in his relationship with the U.S.S.R. He was one of the leaders of the Third World Movement and the bloc of non-aligned countries.
