Description
The publication offers a comprehensive view of the development of Czech-German national disputes from the mid-19th century through the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918 to the beginning of the 21st century. Attention is particularly focused on the tragic end of mutual coexistence in the years 1938-1945 and the subsequent development of differing Czech and German reflections on the reasons for the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovak territory after 1945 in the second half of the 20th century. A detailed explanation of the positions of Czech, German, and Sudeten German concepts is provided thoroughly and cohesively in the international and socio-economic contexts of the 20th century. The book stands out for its breadth of scope, as the author has drawn on years of research into Czech-German relations and also active participation in Czech-German negotiations.
