Cecoslovacchia 1918 (11 novembre) - 1938 (29 settembre) CercaDefinizione
Definition:
The Czech National Council proclaims independence from Austria-Hungary on October 28, 1918; the Slovak National Council announces the secession of Slovakia from Hungary on October 30. The Czechoslovak "First Republic" is a parliamentary democracy with an authoritarian cast. Politics favor Czechs (44% of population); the largest national minorities, Slovaks (23%) and Germans (22%), remain politically unintegrated. Teschen (Tesin) is divided between Czechoslovakia and Poland along the Olsa river in July 1920.
For our purposes, we have set November 11 as the beginning date for the interwar period for many central and eastern European nations because this date represents the official end of hostilities between the Allied Powers and Germany. (en-US)
