The country fell under communist rule following World War II. In 1956, a revolt and an announced withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact were met with massive military intervention by Moscow. Under Janos KADAR’s leadership in 1968, Hungary began liberalizing its economy, introducing so-called “Goulash Communism.” Hungary held its first multiparty elections in 1990 and initiated a free-market economy. It joined NATO in 1999 and the EU five years later.
