Czech President Eduard Benes was a hardline Czechoslovakist, a nationalist ideology dominated by Czech nationalists, who believed that the Czechs and Slovaks were one people, and established a nation-state with Czechoslovaks as the main body, depriving the Germans, Hungarians, Ukrainians, and Poles of the right to national self-determination within Czechoslovakia.
The core of Czechoslovakism, led by Benes and the late Masaryk, in addition to the union of the Czechoslovak and Slovak peoples, was the policy of suppressing and opposing the Germans, which was in fact the main reason for the establishment of the Czechoslovak state In 1919, Benes enlisted support from Britain and France, who also wanted to suppress and weaken the Germans, and suppressed the political power of the Germans in the Sudetenland, annexing the entire region and more than 3 million Germans to Czechoslovakia.
For more than a decade after 1919, the Czechoslovak government under the leadership of Benes and Masaryk did everything possible to suppress the Germans in its territory, and also made Czechoslovakia act as the vanguard of the anti-German struggle in Central Europe, and successively organized the anti-German Iron Triangle and the anti-German small entente.
After Germany resumed armaments in 1931, Czechoslovakia also signed a treaty of friendship with the Soviet Union in an attempt to use the Soviet Union to contain Germany.
To this day, Eduard Benes, who led the Czechoslovak delegation to Geneva, has not abandoned his anti-German policy, because he knows very well that opposing and containing Germany is the greatest value of the Czech Republic, a small nation of only 6 million people If the Czech Republic loses its anti-German value, then the world powers will not hesitate to abandon it, and the end result will not only be unable to own the entire Sudetenland, but also the Czech state and the Czech nation.
"Ceding 5,000 square kilometers to Germany and expelling 2.2 million Germans, Mr.
President, do you know what it means?"
At the premises of the French delegation to the League of Nations in Geneva, which was chairing a closed-door meeting of the four countries attended by the leaders of Britain, France, Italy, and Czechoslovakia, German Chancellor Hitler, who had already arrived in Geneva, was not invited, and Soviet Foreign Minister Litvinov received an invitation but did not come, and Prime Minister Leon Blum, a French Jew who did not come, was taken aback by Benes's proposal.
"It means that the ambitions of the Germans are curtailed," Edward Benes said excitedly in English.
"As long as Britain, France, Poland, Italy and Czechoslovakia stand together, Germany is a beast in a cage" "Italy and Germany are friends," Mussolini interjected coldly in full gear, "and I don't think it's necessary to put the Germans in a cage either" On the issue of Abynesia.
Hersmann did him a great favor, not only allowing Italy to avoid international sanctions, but also confusing international public opinion with "anti-colonialism in the style of the national community".
And now, Abenicia is about to be defeated, Mussolini is thinking about interfering in Spain, Spain is about to fight, and after the leftist government comes to power, the "revolutionary masses" in Spain are completely out of control, fighting local tyrants, dividing land, and burning churches everywhere.
Instead of maintaining order, the leftist government issued a decree recognizing the misdeeds of the "revolutionary masses".
On March 14, 1936, the Spanish leftist government arrested the leader of the Spanish right, José Antonio Primo de Rivilla, the leader of the Phalangist Party.
He is the son of the former Spanish dictator Migor Primo de Villa, the head of the right-wing conservative forces in Spain, and a "foreign apprentice" of Mussolini.
His arrest means that Spain is about to break with the left and right.
It was only a matter of time before the Spanish Civil War broke out Of course, Mussolini can't watch his "little Spanish apprentice" being bullied, this is an opportunity for him to reach the top of the Mediterranean hegemon, so Mussolini, who is ready to show his skills again in Spain, wants to get the cheers of Germany, which can make him look more imposing.
In exchange, Italy was bound to support Germany over Czechoslovakia.
Edward Benes's mood suddenly fell to freezing point, the Soviet representatives did not attend the meeting, and the Italian leader openly supported Germany.
Europe's five great powers are now three to two He looked at British Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain, and British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin was too old to walk.
So he asked Chamberlain Zhang to go to Geneva for a meeting instead of him.
"It is unrealistic to expel 2.2 million Germans," Chamberlain said, "and international public opinion and public opinion in Britain will not allow us to support such a decision." ” Due to the release of the "Seven Articles of the League of Nations", the reputation of the Czechs in the international community has become stinky, and this "Seven Articles of the League of Nations" is not because Germany is smearing the Czech Republic, but because it is justified.
Many leading foreign correspondents went deep into Czechoslovakia to work with the investigation team, and met many tearful Germans, Slovaks, Poles, Hungarians, and Ukrainians complaining to them.
Moreover, they also saw many "mass graves" in the mountainous area on the border between Slovakia and Hungary, where the Slovaks and Hungarians who were killed by the Czech army and the Polish army during the "Hungarian War" were buried Such a scoundrel has long been shouted at by everyone, and now he has openly proposed to expel 2.2 million Germans, which is simply running down the heinous road.
"France does not support it either", the French Jewish Prime Minister said even more resolutely, he is the Virgin of the White Left.
How dare you openly express your support for genocide, and the French fascists would not dare to say this.
Moreover, this matter is not a question of expressing one's position, but of going to war "Are you going to watch our Czechoslovakia being annexed by Germany," asked Edward Benes in despair.
"No," Neville Chamberlain shook his head.
Seriously, "German Chancellor Monsieur Hitler has promised us that not an inch of Czechoslovakia will be annexed by force, and that if you Czechs are willing to do justice to the Germans, he can persuade the Sudetenland Germans to remain in a free and democratic Bohemian federation of Czechs, Germans, Slovaks, Poles, Hungarians, and Ukrainians." ” The liberal and democratic Bohemian Confederation was the solution to the "Czechoslovak question" proposed by Adolf Hitler to the Executive Council of the League of Nations in Geneva.
According to this scheme, Czechoslovakia was to be reorganized into a Bohemian Commonwealth.
The federation will consist of Sudetenland Free State Germans, Slovak Free State Slovaks, Ceskhin Free State Poles, Transcarpathian Free State Ukrainians, Firmiejdijk Free State Hungarians, and Czech Free State Czechs.
Each free state will have its own government, parliament, constitution, and defence force, with "near-independent self-government."
The defense forces of the various states will be fully independent.
An army that is not under the command of the federal government.
Moreover, the free states could secede from the Bohemian Federation through "national self-determination".
At the federal level, the number of seats in parliament, the composition of public office and the armed forces must be strictly proportional to the population of each ethnic group.
That is, the number of Czechs in the army of the future Bohemian Confederation could not exceed 47, including officers, non-commissioned officers and enlisted men.
The Sudetenland, on the other hand, could occupy 26 positions of officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers, many of whom were simply Stacy agents, in fact, disarming the entire country "But there is absolutely no possibility that such a federation will exist for a long time, this is ridiculous, the federal army will lose its combat effectiveness, without the protection of the army, how can we Czechs resist Germany" Edward Benes had a sense of despair, and his country had emerged with the support of great powers, not so much a nation-state as a pawn of Britain and France to contain Germany.
And when Britain and France chose to give up, the end of Czechoslovakia was not far off.
"Mr.
Hitler, Great Britain, France and Italy have agreed on the question of Czechoslovakia."
The day after the disillusioned President of Czechoslovakia, Benes, left Geneva, he would resign from the presidency and go into exile in England, waiting for a new opportunity to act as a pawn, and the meeting of the permanent members of the Executive Council of the League of Nations was officially convened in the Peace Palace in Geneva.
The French Prime Minister spoke first, informing Hitler of the results of the closed-door meeting between Britain, France and Italy.
"We consider it acceptable to establish a Bohemian federation on the soil of Czechoslovakia, with a free state for all six major peoples.
Moreover, the injustice suffered by the Germans in 1919 had to be compensated and they could recover the lost property.

But Germany and Austria had to promise not to annex the Sudetenland, nor to make any claims to other lands in the Bohemian Confederation.
The independence and freedom of the Bohemian Confederation would be guaranteed by France and England. ” "The USSR is also ready to provide guarantees for Bohemia," Soviet Foreign Minister Litvinov then stated.
"Japan also supports this plan."
The representative of the Imperial Japanese to the League of Nations also nodded.
"Okay, I'm willing to accept this plan."
Adolf Hitler stood up and said in an impassioned tone, "We in Germany are also willing to guarantee the independence and freedom of Bohemia, and I hope that the Bohemian way will serve as a model for the League of Nations in resolving internal conflicts, and that wars will never again occur on the European continent, whether between nations or within nations." ” t1706231537:
