Rightist Hungarian military forces, led by the former Austro-Hungarian Admiral [[Miklós Horthy]], entered Budapest in the wake of the Romanian army's departure and filled the vacuum of [[state power]].  In [[January]] [[1920]], elections were held for a unicameral assembly.  Admiral Horthy was elected Regent, thereby formally restoring the monarchy to Hungary.  However, there would be no more "Kings of Hungary" despite attempts by the former Habsburg ruler to return to his former seat of power.  Horthy ruled as Regent until 16 October 1944.  Hungary remained a parliamentary democracy.  But, after 1932, autocratic tendencies gradually returned as a result of Nazi influence and the [[Great Depression]].
