None was more successful in realizing the goal of self-determination than the Czechs and Slovaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e From its humble beginning the Czecho-Slovak liberation movement grew into an impressive struggle that was waged from the capitals of Western Europe to the frozen steppes of Siberia. Its ranks included exiled propagandists, war prisoners-turned-legionaries and conspirators inside Austria-Hungary. This book shows how these groups overcame their estrangements and coordinated their efforts to win independence for their homeland. It also examines the consequences of the Czecho-Slovaks' achievements, including their entanglement in the Russian Civil War and their impact on the postwar settlements that redrew the political boundaries of Central Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46861248266391,"sku":"9780786496259","price":3750.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786496259.webp?v=1769961279","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-czecho-slovak-struggle-for-independence-1914-1920-9780786496259","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
