The Famous Czechoslovak LegionNonreviewed - Other

JUDr. et PhDr. Jaroslav Padrnos, CSc.

The Czechoslovak Legion was a revolutionary armed force formed abroad that had come into being during World War I. It is said that without this force, there would be no independent Czechoslovakia. Without a foreign political, diplomatic and military resistance of the Czechoslovak National Council, headed by Prof. Dr. Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, Doc. Dr. Edvard Beneš, and Brig. Gen. Milan Rastislav Štefánik, there would be no Czechoslovak Legion. Even in the hard times, the large majority of legionnaires were always true to the Czech and the Slovak nation during World War II, and after the war. But after the February 1948, those nations, officially represented by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, were not true to them.

Keywords: World war, Austro-Hungarian monarchy, legion, legionnaires, the independent Czechoslovak state, Czechoslovak National Council, battle of Zborov, ­TransSiberian Railway, Masaryk, Beneš, Štefánik, president Wilson.
