Czechoslovakia and attempts for „restoration" of Habsburgs in 1921

Summary/Abstract: After the First World War, the new Czechoslovakia quickly stabilized. It created an internal republican regime of parliamentary democracy and consolidated its international position. However, relations with Hungary remained a serious problem . Indeed Budapest still give up the hope of re great Hungary in headed ruler with habsbu r tion Dynasty. The overthrown emperor and king Charles in exile, his aristocratic adherents as well as various monarchist groups and movements in the territory of the former Habsburg Empire they still did not cope with its disintegration. At the same time, they also relied on monarchist and conservative circles in Germany, France and Great Britain, as well as other European countries. They began to make plans to restore the Habsburg monarchy and restore the ex-Emperor and ex-King Charles to the throne. Hungary, which did not accept the disintegration of historic Hungary and had a strong monarchist and especially nationalist movement, openly opposed the post-war constitutional order of Central and South-Eastern Europe and the existence of successor states, seemed most favorable. They first assumed the re-establishment of Charles as the king of Hungary. Then, under appropriate internal and especially international conditions, to restore the Habsburg Empire, perhaps in some reformed form of a constitutional and federal monarchy. Historically, the term "restauration of the Habsburgs" has been used for these efforts. Charles and his followers first tried to return to Hungary in March 1921, but failed due to the internal resistance of regent Horthy, who did not want to give up his position of power, and the international power pressure on Hungary, which was instigated by Czechoslovakia. Then again in October 1921 he tried again to return to Hungary. This time regent Horthy deployed an army against his supporters and Czechoslovakia mobilized part of its army. Karel was interned and transported to the Portuguese island of Madeira.
