abstract
JUDr. Jan Kuklík, jun., on the other hand depicts “The Dispute over the Form of Czechoslovak State in the Politics of Czechoslovak Emigration in France and in Great Britain with the Purpose of Recognition of the Czechoslovak Government”. He concentrates on the first years of emigration and war and deals with the efforts of Dr. Edvard Beneš and people sharing his line of promoting the programme of restoration of Czechoslovak Republic in the pre-Munich boundaries, efforts which were accompanied by many conflicts. The situation was complicated because of the fact, that France and Great Britain had recognized de facto the establishment of a Slovak State and Protectorate of Bohemia and Slovakia. (The author nevertheless remembers the attitude of the outstanding jurist Kelsen who claims that what happened on March 14 and 15, 1939, was a breach of the Munich Treaty itself.) A great part of Dr. Kuklík’s work is dedicated to the description of powers against which the policy of Dr. Beneš struggled. He discusses a theory by Dr. Štefan Osuský, who stated that the bearer of continuity of the Czechoslovak state in emigration was not Dr. Beneš, but those ambassadors who did not give up their embassies to invaders after March 15, 1939. Subsequently, the author deals with the effort of Dr. Milan Hodža to create a Slovak National Committee, with the competitors from among anti-Beneš part of Czech emigration, who acknowledged general Lev Prchal. Promoters of the idea of Danubian federation, which would include Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia, were also against the idea of continuity of the Czechoslovak State. The division of foreign resistance continued for years even after our government in London and President Beneš as representatives of the Czechoslovak State were recognized.
