On 8 June 1930, Carol II was proclaimed the King of Romania by the Parliament.

Carol came back to the country on 6 June, following an intense campaign that was meant to bring him back after he gave up his rights as the heir to the throne in 1925.

A major part of Carol II's cult of personality was built around celebrating the anniversaries of his comeback. 6 June was turned into a national holiday known as the Restoration Day.
