Abstract
The serious political and social crisis triggered by the outcome of the World War One and particularly evident in the states humiliated by their defeat was condidered by the most radical groups of the Marxist Left in those countries as a favorable opportunity to implement a revolution, such as that successfully carried out a year before by the bolshevists in Russia. Vienna and Budapest, as well as several cities in Germany, were the focus of a number of attempts to set up forms of government based on the Bolshevik model. The peculiarities of the Austrian and Hungarian uprising movements as well as the reasons for their failure are briefly illustrated in this article.Pubblicazioni consigliate
