Alternate references are „Hungarian Revolt“ and „Hungarian Uprising“; „Revolution“ sed as it conforms to both English (see U.S. Department of State background on Hungary) and Hungarian („forradalom“) conventions. There is a distinction between the „complete overthrow“ of a revolution and an uprising or revolt that may or may not be successful (Oxford English Dictionary). The 1956 Hungarian event, although shortlived, is a true „revolution“ in that the sitting Government was indeed deposed. Unlike „coup d’etat“ or „putsch“ which imply action of a few, the 1956 revolution was effected by the masses.
