    How was Hungary not part of the soviet union? Why did they get invaded by tanks days after they starded a revolt against the soviet union?

      Hungary was part of the Warsaw Pact, but never part of the USSR.

        Ok, you are correct on that, my mistake.

        I would still argue that no member of that pact had any authority, only the Soviet Union, so its a formality to say Hungary wasnt part of the Soviet Union, even since most policies came from the Soviets.
