Tétel Korlátozottan hozzáférhető Behind The Scenes Of Us’s Foreign Policy(2013-12-11T08:13:28Z) Czakó, Enikő; Mathey, Éva; DE--TEK--Bölcsészettudományi KarIn this essay we are going to examine what considerations formulated U.S. decision-making at Hungary’s threshold of reaching neutrality from the Soviet geopolitical sprawl by stating that Eisenhower’s administration sold the illusionistic advertisement of ‘liberalization’ during its republican election camping. The importance of the examination of films is enhanced by the fact that TV and radio broadcast became the fastest conveyors of information and the “[…] West could watch live how Soviet tanks drowned the revolution in blood” during the Hungarian Revolution. In this essay we are going to focus on two determinative films from the perspective of American operations and the process of decision making. Whooping Cough (Szamárköhögés) offers us a great opportunity to examine the clandestine operations of the period over Eastern Europe by enhancing the role of leaflets disseminated by the United States. While Freedom Square 56 (Szabadság Tér 56) demonstrates some of the clandestine operations (eg. radio), it rather focuses on the ignorance of the US Embassy located in Hungary. From the perspective of this essay, the symbols of the consuls’ ignorance and limited knowledge will be essential, since it will help us to understand the conditions among which the US made her decisions and how the consuls underrated the revolution. Nevertheless, the Soviet domination over Eastern Europe offered a great platform to exploit the rhetoric of ‘liberation policy’ by the election campaigns’ candidates.Tétel Korlátozottan hozzáférhető The 1956 Hungarian Revolution And Its Consequences In My Uncle Charles' Life(2013-05-06T11:27:09Z) Danku, Ágnes; Mathey, Éva; DE--TEK--Bölcsészettudományi KarI will present what happened in the Hungarian revolution in 1956 and how the international situation affected the formation of the revolution. I will examine what was the policy of Austria and of the United States (US) in connection with the accepting of the Hungarian refugees. After this overview, I will demonstrate through a personal example, my uncle, Charles K. Turk, how the Hungarian revolution had determined his life.
