one nine hundred thirty eight the british prime minister has never changed and held several meetings with him in a bid to persuade him not to start a war in central europe. this continent he was ready to do anything in his power to obtain these two deaths are legion. on his part chilling fearful at the prospect of the speech of the french prime minister. to put pressure on czechoslovakia in order to achieve a peaceful solution france made it clear it would give new shampoo if the czechs decided to go to war to take out benish was ready to surrender everything else healthy facility it's appalling that the chicks were. to plant their government s. just. needless to say initially the czech government was categorically against ceding on the same date in the region to germany but they changed their mind following very crude pressure from their allies and from that sent waves of anger

with the result that the people of czechoslovakia came out onto the streets to demand that the government distance itself from the agreement and retain all the territories all of that took place in front of the government buildings just near. the russian historians. was in berlin hundred forty five he was employed at the soviet embassy at the time and supplied stone and bit on the elliptical lutes feels that in signing the agreement on the division of czechoslovakia the western powers are not being guided by the fear of war in europe. news there. generally germany and the soviet union should be put on a collision course they would fight with each other and more than that they would bleed themselves white and when they were weak enough we would dictate our terms to them there was a whole jungle although such top level state. received

the chamberlain had committed a blunder became clear few months later when he landed in a bomb shelter where a gas mask in anticipation of a possible german attorney. many historians regard the day when the munich agreement was signed is the start of world war two although on september the thirtieth leaders of european countries troop to be able to sign a peace memorandum. under the terms of the agreement signed by hitler mussolini chamberlain and. the czechs words leave the citizen and within nine days go for off the agreement said that the territory would be occupied by german troops are moving to the tenth when german troops and to czechoslovakia plain old earl begged the director of the archive fifty three days from germany was just over

a year old place or his mother often told him that the citizen germans hailed this days as an occasion for celebration the arrival of german troops was seen as the longer we waited accession to the third reich he told me. they were delighted because of the troops but. because germans that was an oldish. eighteen. the small town of hama tough situated a hundred kilometers away from prague was populated by the germans only seventy years ago after the war the germans were recessed told by force almost no one came back only street people attended meetings at a local branch of the suggests india. had few kournikova a german woman by birth has lived all her life in czechoslovakia during the war

years she and her family found themselves in the crossfire literally. spent her childhood in the czech kindergarten and the chicks school. when the nazis came to power she had to pay the price for her friendship with czechs she and her family were thought to be suspect in the wall the chicks to change their attitude to the germans. german soldiers once sent hedrick use a little girl at the time along with her younger brother to a chick canteen to get some food but they never got it their former classmates pelted them with stones. so snugly. into a line my brother came to the school. our classmates pelted us with stones. and drove us away from the school building it and. crying is high oh thirty or. fifty heil. after the earth is soo disciplined was returned to

only thing you can recognise here was once the reach there of nearly solace and inhabitants that means i think two hundred houses. they all have gone only this one is here. we know this is the region where the germans lived. in is the representative. in prague anything he can do for the time being conjure up memories of lost territories the germans would be only too happy to return but no one here expects them to. know there is a difference between an italian coming here to sell pizzas. and a german whose parents lived here works every german who was born here. we feel germans must have some special conditions for their return here. or

special conditions for a return to the czech republic exist nor can they exist in a legal context in the present european legal system. only thing that could be discussed similarities in mentality. here the love this land and the no check lifestyle but this does not imply any special rights or concessions. for the czech foreign ministry the thirty five year old has a few leeson to see himself as someone of. he is a suggestion german in a cordon. with one family line although it is true that he is a chick in accordance with another his grandfathers were on different sides of the barricades which in no way undermines his firm pro czech position.

the debate on how the munich agreement affected the course of european history in the twentieth century has shown no signs of abating as here it is a theoretical conference dedicated to that event in moscow both. a historian from the czech republic and. a historian from germany had the opportunity to present their views on the subject. change their views but they did agree on the lessons that can be drawn from events that took place years ago in a situation in nineteen thirty eight showed that if the structure of collective security is undermined. it was the league of nations and national leaders are guided only by national interests. to dangerous situation. if that curve historian is going to publish declassified documents compiled by

intelligence agents so that they can become available not only to specialists but also to anyone he was interested in world history in fact anyone who feels there's a lesson can be drawn from any historical situation. global the main lesson to be drawn from munich fits into very simple formula instead of encouraging an aggressor must be countered by ensuring to their friends the difference to step licious system of collective security in nine hundred thirty eight field but the problem has a good deal of relevance twenty serious. political ambitions of the powers that be and the attempts to decide everything at the stroke of a pen or through violent acts only result in human casualties tragedies and twisted lives. if this affects ordinary people in the first place.

and seem to find it difficult to take to heart these apparently obvious conclusions in the twenty first century is wild.
