Tank is Soviet, T-54/55. Soviet occupation during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956?

Close. The city where this photo is from was the capital of the kingdom of Hungary from 1536 to 1783, if that helps.

Good job irontaino, your turn.
Re: Name that Battle!
Judging from your hint irontaino should be right. During the time-span you name Bratislava (then Pressburg) was capital of Hungary. In 68 the city was occupied during the Warsaw Pact operation surpressing the Prague Spring. I always thought this photo was from Hungary though.
Sorry, just saw you posted the answer while I was writing.

That looks to be India, pre-color (I would assume). Perhaps WW2, although I don't think there were any operations in India in WW2...

The Japanese invaded India during the Burma Campaign. Looks like an Indian flag is to the right of the close tree. Looks like Brit MK-II helmets on the soldiers, possibly Gurkha.
Is this Imphal? Battle/Siege of Imphal? Or any part of the U-Go Offensive?

Here's a hint, it was in India and Pakistan was NOT their enemy this time (probably a dead giveaway
