Question

how were the rebellions in poland and hungary similar?
the workers there demanded political reforms.
the soviets responded with military force.
the leaders were severely punished.
the soviets agreed to make limited concessions.

Explanation:

In the Polish rebellion (1956), workers demanded political reforms. In the Hungarian Revolution (1956), workers also demanded political reforms like more democratic governance, freedom of speech, and an end to Soviet - style centralized control. The Soviets did not respond with military force in Poland (they used more diplomatic and economic pressure initially), while they did in Hungary. The leaders in Poland were not severely punished in the same way as some in Hungary (where some were executed or imprisoned). And the Soviets did not agree to make limited concessions in the same sense in both cases.

Answer:

The workers there demanded political reforms.
