Question

What was the primary reason Nagy was removed as prime minister of Hungary?

Answer 1

The primary reason Nagy was removed was because the soviets wanted to reverse democratic reforms

Answer 2

The Soviets wanted to reverse democratic reforms.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, Nagy defended Hungary's autonomy over the Soviet Union and democratic reforms. In 1953, he was appointed prime minister of the country, but two years later he was overthrown by the Stalinists, who wanted to reverse the democratic reforms he established. However, with a revolution in the streets, the government fell, and he was reinstated as the premier of Hungary. Nagy was hanged on June 16, 1958 and has since become a national hero.
