   Introduction Hungary
   --------------------
                            Background: Hungary was part of the polyglot
                                        Austro-Hungarian Empire, which
                                        collapsed during World War I. The
                                        country fell under communist rule
                                        following World War II. In 1956, a
                                        revolt and announced withdrawal from
                                        the Warsaw Pact were met with a
                                        massive military intervention by
                                        Moscow. In the more open GORBACHEV
                                        years, Hungary led the movement to
                                        dissolve the Warsaw Pact and
                                        steadily shifted toward multiparty
                                        democracy and a market-oriented
                                        economy. Following the collapse of
                                        the USSR in 1991, Hungary developed
                                        close political and economic ties to
                                        Western Europe. It joined NATO in
                                        1999 and is a frontrunner in a
                                        future expansion of the EU.
