International reaction to Hungarian uprising

• Khrushchev


  Came to power, criticised Stalin, reached out to the West with hopes of better relationships
• Khrushchev's actions in Hungary

  Showed he could be as ruthless as Stalin
• Eisenhower and Khrushchev


  Began friendly relations, but the events in Hungary wrecked this
• Hungary expected help from the USA, but the Americans were not willing to risk war, so offered no help
• Lack of American help for Hungary

  Led to other countries in the Warsaw Pact knowing they would have no chance of leaving, increasing Soviet control
