Following the defeat of Austria-Hungary and the restoration of Hungary as a sovereign and independent state, Hungary was under the rule of a regency under Miklos Horthy. While there were attempts by King Charles IV (Charles I of Austria-Hungary) to reclaim control of Hungary (which failed only because none of the neighboring states wanted him back in any form or fashion.) It not only ended in failure, but also potentially killed any possibility of the restoration of the Hungarian Monarchy (despite Hungary officially remaining a monarchy until Soviet occupation led to the dissolution of the Kingdom and the establishment of a Hungarian Republic, and later the Cold War-era Communist State.

But what if, even if Charles IV is still refused, that Hungary would take an active interest in electing a new monarch to represent Hungary? Who would they choose as a representative to the Hungarian throne?

EDIT: Whoops, meant this for After 1900, can someone move this? ^^;
