After the Treaty of Trianon, seeing the political instability in both Hungary and Austria, Charles wanted to restore his reign on his former subject countries.
Being a peaceful politician, he wanted to discuss his return with the actual leaders of Hungary, Prime Minister Pál Teleki - a loyalist himself - , and Regent Miklós Horthy.
This time, Horthy was able to convince Charles that the Little Entente wouldn't tolerate the restoration of the Habsburg dynasty and that the country would end up in a military intervention.
He returned in middle October, when, as a result of the Uprising in West Hungary, a large amount of loyalist military person was shown up in the western part of the country, but after the Referendum of Sopron, he had to hurry up before the disbanding and homecoming of these people.
After the warning of the Little Entente states of an upcoming military intervention if Charles won't be stopped, Horthy ordered armed resistance.
This was a desperate decision from Gömbös, as he couldn't rely neither on the hesitating army, nor on any paramilitary units, and even his personal group, the MOVE refused to fight.
The soldiers on the train quickly occupied the field, but not knowing that the only opposing forces were students, the attack stopped, waiting for further command from Charles.
However, the closing of the case couldn't wait anymore: Edvard Beneš wanted to use the failed coup for his anti-Hungarian campaign.
He tried to start a second occupation against Hungary with the Little Entente: his plans surprisingly were supported solely by Yugoslavia, while Romania remained steady over the case.
