1956 Hungarian Uprising Lesson
Learning objectives
In this lesson, students will examine the causes, events and consequences of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, including the repressive conditions under Rákosi, the impact of Khrushchev's secret speech, and the escalation from student protest to armed revolt. They will also evaluate why Western democracies failed to intervene and how the memory of the uprising influenced the collapse of communist rule in 1989. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading and research options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
