WI Hungarian Uprising escalates, with all Soviet satellites also having a anti communist uprising.

Pretty much every European country in the Soviet sphere falls into a similar uprising in the scale of the Hungarians.

How would the USSR and NATO react to this?
 
There are still Russian boots on the ground - the Kremlin doesn't want to lose her satellites.

Worst case is that fighting spills over to West Berlin and London overreacts, war occurs. How soon the Force de Frappe and Polaris are deployed depends, but my money's on a Soviet conventional victory with a limited nuclear war - Russian troops on the Rhine, the French break out the Instasun (tm) and are bombed to shit whilst London and Washington stab Paris in the back with a two-foot machete and walk away whistling. The West Germans and Austrians are fucked over whilst Britain becomes very Tory and very, very, very hawkish. Powell as Maggie on steroids with a pint of gin takes power - the "voluntary" reparations likely are blocked by his party but he is still rather racist, even by the standards of his time. Civil war in SA likely happens and the world becomes very crapsacky.

Is this a deliberate troll? I'm genuinely curious.

Eden was PM during the Hungarian uprising of 1956. Where does a Junior Housing Minister (Powell) play a role in this timeline? Also, where are the French Nukes coming in since they didn't have any until 1960? And Polaris SLBMs weren't introduced until 1961?
 
This.

FUCK.

I had this mixed up with the Czech uprising of 68. Silly me.
 
Mikoyans line wins in the political committee and the Soviet Union tail ends the movement for communisation under workers control and with a plurality of _c_ommunist parties, the most significant of which often being the social democrats.

This does take the leash off the pcf and pci.
