Of 3 of an active attack against the empire from here. For the last time, the collapse of l9l8 by which Germanism was excluded from power politics created the possibility that violence and incomprehension tore these countries out of their historical bounds, and by inserting them into the artificial structure of Czechoslovakia created a herd of constant dangers for the empire. According to the will of the rulers of this state structure it was to form the bulwark and fortress for failure against the kingdom. Never again in the future can only the possibility of such a development be considered at all. What l9l8 had fallen undeserved as a fruit in the Schoss of the Czech people, could not be asserted. The leaders of the next 20 years, not only did they not solve the problems they were facing, but they did everything possible to make these problems worse. History has already passed a devastating judgment on them. Development has gone beyond them - because in the long run, politics cannot be directed against the nature of things. The Czechs did not know how to take advantage of the opportunity given at that time. That this opportunity should never come back again is the lasting realization of the past years. From the commandment of self-preservation, therefore, the empire had to take the path which, only for the restoration of the foundations of a reasonable order in the central European area, created the preconditions. In March 1939, the countries of Bohemia and Moravia did not return to the unsolvable bond and unity of the empire, but they were clearly determined by it the future historical task. This space, according to its historical past, will be the heart and heart of the German-determined middle of the earth.
