1938: Partition of Czechoslovakia under the Munich Collusion

The Munich Agreement of 1938 (also called the Munich Agreement) between, Germany, and Britain, France Italy drawn up Munich on September 29, 1938 and signed on the night of September 29-30 of that year by Reich Chancellor Germany Adolf Hitler, Prime Minister Great Britain Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister France Eduard Daladier and Prime Minister Benito Italy Mussolini. The agreement stipulated that Czechoslovakia would liberate and cede the Sudetenland to Germany within 10 days.

Under pressure from Poland and Hungary, annexes were added to the Munich agreement requiring Czechoslovakia to resolve territorial disputes with these countries as soon as possible. Representatives of the Czechoslovak delegation Hubert Masarzyk and Vojtech Mastny were present, but were not invited to discuss the terms of the agreement, and only signed the finished document. On the morning of September 30, Czechoslovak President Benes accepted the terms of this agreement, without the consent of the National Assembly.

On October 1, German troops crossed the border of Czechoslovakia and by October 10 occupied the entire territory of the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia.

Shortly after the signing of the Munich Agreement on November 2, 1938, the First Vienna Arbitration took place, which separated from Czechoslovakia in favor of Hungary, the territory in southern Slovakia and southern Subcarpathian Rus, and to Poland the territory of Czechoslovakia in the north.

In March 1939, the First Slovak Republic was proclaimed, and shortly after the creation of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, Germany completely took control of the remaining Czech territories.

The Munich Agreement is considered the culmination of the British-French policy of appeasement. The war in Europe that Hitler wanted to provoke was averted. Great Britain and France made it clear to the Czechoslovak government that if Germany's demands were rejected, no help should be expected. To avoid war, Czechoslovakia accepted the terms of the agreement. Because of the circumstances, the agreement is also called Munich collusion.
