the german. had a conference concerning the munich agreements of the ship. so once the answer to an important question the dismemberment of czechoslovakia had been prevented and could world war two have been avoided there is some reason to believe that this could have been done the czechs had signed an agreement on mutual support with france and the soviet union. the world war one european countries including france and england where we really the prospect of launched. what worried france on the dillard year most of all could be done in order to breach the mutual support agreement under the same time avoid implementing it in full. in the one nine hundred thirty eight the british prime minister who never changed and held several meetings with hitler in a bid to persuade him to stone to war in central europe. this continent he was

ready to do anything in his power to obtain the suggestion region. on his part chile fearful of 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 film if the czechs decided to be taken benish was ready to surrender without healthy facility it's apparent that the chicks free. to plan their government s. just. needless to say and italy the czech government was categorically against ceding the sudeten 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 the territories. all of

days as an occasion for celebration the arrival of german troops was seen as the longer we waited accession to the third reich the told me. they were delighted because of the troops but. because germans that was an oldish. eighteen. the small town of home it off situated a hundred kilometers away from prague was populated by the germans only seventy years ago after the war with 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 a check school. when the nazis came to power she had to pay the price for her friendship with checks she and her family were thought to be suspect picturing the wall the chicks to change their attitude to the suggestion german. german soldiers once sent hedrick you was 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 that get. 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 heil hitler. but. after the earth the su disciplined was returned to czechoslovakia the czech

president. returned from london after hiding. his first degree deported from the country deprives them of their citizenship and confiscated their property. taishan was accompanied by the so called death marches tens of thousands of students and germans died in a matter of months. back the director of the archives these cigarettes and returned to his homeland sixty years later he returned as a tourist. finds nothing but his name to be all incivility lost destroyed and if you go over say there you will find some traces stones from houses not trees after trees and this is the

only thing you can recognise here was once we reach there of nearly solace and inhabitants that means i think. three hundred houses. they all have gone only one year. we know this is the region where the germans lived. 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. under 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 their return or assurance 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 of 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 if he leeson to see himself as someone of. he is a suggestion german. 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 at the theoretical conference dedicated to that event in moscow. a historian from the czech republic and. a historian from germany had the opportunity to present their views on the subject. lot of the historians changed their views but they did agree on the lessons that can be drawn from events that took place years ago in this situation in nineteen thirty eight showed that if the structure of collective security is undermined. it was the league of nations our national leaders are guided only by national interests gives rise to a dangerous situation. if that's kind of a 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. the main lesson to be drawn from prison to very simple formula instead of encouraging an aggressor you must be countered by ensuring there for its efforts to establish a system of collective security in nine hundred thirty eight field but the problem has a good deal of relevance to the. political ambitions of the powers that be. and the attempts to decide everything but the stroke of the pen or through violent acts only result in human casualties transit is interested lives. if this affects ordinary people in the first place. on

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