A rebellion previously cropped up in his realm, and a bloodless revolution in 1932 gave Sixm a constitution for a brief period. At that time a coup by loyal government troops crushed the liberals." With the probability of losing the last of his regal privileges shorn away during his absence, Prajadhipok offered to abdicate his throne in protent.
