The "Liberation of Budapest" refers to the military campaign led by the Soviet Red Army and Allied forces during World War II to liberate the city of Budapest, the capital of Hungary, from Axis forces, primarily the German army and pro-Nazi Hungarian forces.
The siege of Budapest was one of the longest and bloodiest assaults of World War II, lasting from December 24, 1944, to February 13, 1945. The Soviets ultimately succeeded in breaking through German and Hungarian defenses, resulting in the liberation of the city.
However, it's important to note that the liberation of Budapest didn't necessarily mean the end of hostilities in Hungary, as fighting continued in other parts of the country until the end of the war in Europe in May 1945. The liberation of Budapest marked a significant milestone toward the total defeat of Nazi Germany and its allies.
