English Translation

The Czech people belonged until 1918, as well as part of the German people, such as the Slovaks, Hungary, Croats, Romanians and part of Italian Volkes, to the state federation of the lost Habsburg monarchy. In the Habsburg monarchy, this historic relic, there were no internal forces that could have forced these peoples into a new, more fruitful life. These internal forces were still lacking even more after the year 1866, in which the allied Prussian and Italian forces defeated the Habsburg monarchy and displaced the Habsburgs from both the German Federation and the Italian countries.The Habsburg monarchy was anti-German and anti-Italian, but its peoples were unanimous anti-Habsburgian. There was no agreement among these nations on how to shape the future if the Habsburgs disintegrated and their empire. To whom to join, it was clear only to the Austrian Germans, the Austrians and Romanians. After World War II, this uncertainty – or rather embarrassment – was used by England to turn the peoples of the Danube monarchy into mercenaries after their demise, who were to guard both Germany and Italy in the interests of France and England. At that time, the sad fate of my country, which was anti-Habsburgian, began, but which was – and that was where the It is interesting that the Czech politicians before the World War had never had enough courage to get a clear picture of the Czech future in the event that the Habsburg monarchy was actually to perish. It should be noted here that Professor Masaryk, the first president of the Czechoslovak Republic, did not believe in the possibility that the Bohemian countries would be capable of independent political life before the world wars. In a discussion with some Czech fantasists, he once said before World War II that in Africa all the Negroes would laugh warmly if the Bohemian countries wanted to form an independent state! The same Masaryk noted that the existence of the Czech people in Central Europe had saved only the fact that it was a little Germanized, that it had acquired German culture and civilization and turned its back on the Slavic East. During World War II, however, Masaryk was defeated by the British intrigue, and so at the end of his life he began to represent what he had once fought and made ridiculous. He believed not only the assurances that the Czech people could have their own independent and independent state from the German Reich, to which it had belonged for a thousand years; Masaryks was under the control of the British government.
