Answer 2

Answer:

• The Soviets responded with military force and crushed the revolts.

Explanation:

Construction workers in East Berlin began the protests, requesting an expansion in work hours and requiring a general strike. The call to strike was communicated over Radio in the American Sector (RIAS) in West Berlin and heard all through East Germany. Over a million specialists in 700 urban communities and towns paid attention to the call to strike on June 17, 1953. The Soviet Union reacted quickly and brutally, proclaiming a highly sensitive situation and sending in tanks to bigger urban communities where challenges were happening.  

Protesters took to the streets in Hungary in October 1956, demanding freedom from Soviet mastery and increasingly vote based political procedures. Soviet control and mistreatment proceeded perseveringly, as the USSR sent tanks and troops and pounded the Hungarian Uprising. A large number of Hungarians were executed or injured and more than 200,000 fled the nation.  

In January 1968, tthe new leader in Czechoslovakia, Alexander Dubcek, launched the "Prague Spring".  He looked to give socialism "a human face," as he named it, presenting numerous political and monetary changes. By August, the USSR reacted by sending in 600,000 troops, and again those Soviet tanks. The upset was put down.  

By 1989, the communist bloc countries of Eastern Europe could no longer sustain their governments and the USSR itself was debilitating.
