Zoltán, also known as Zolta, Zaltas, or Zsolt, is probably the name of the son of Árpád and the father of Taksony and possibly Jutas. Gesta Hungarorum names Zolta as the son and successor of Árpád. Although he ruled Hungary from 900 to 955, his leadership meant much less than with previous leaders, as during his time, tribal leaders had most of the powers.
In this era, the raids of Hungarians were common in much of Europe.
Hungary was declared a republic, and Tildy was elected president.
Hungary joined the USSR and other Eastern European Communist countries in forming the Warsaw Pact for mutual defense and in enlarging the functions of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON).
Indications that the period of liberalization was coming to an end appeared in April 1955, when Nagy was dismissed from the premiership and expelled from the party for alleged anti-Soviet beliefs and failure to follow the pattern of the USSR in his policies.
