On October 28, 1918 the first independent Czechoslovak state was founded from territories that were previously part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Tomáš G. Masaryk became the first president of this national state, inspired by President Woodrow Wilson’s 14 points, especially the principle of self-determination. Czechoslovakia became one of Europe’s first successful multi-party parliamentary democracies. Unfortunately, the so called First Republic only lasted two decades until Nazi occupation of the Czech Lands in 1938-39. Although Czechoslovakia no longer exists today, Czechs continue to view this date as the day of our national founding. For further information about this critical turning point of our history, we recommend reading this book (available in libraries and online). |
