Who are the gentlemen shaking hands with the Nazis?
I knew the dates but until now somehow never realised that not even a whole year passed between this and the Invasion of Poland.
People tend to forget that pretty much all neighbours of Czechoslovakia were interested in carving them up, they were very multi ethnic and a lot of places had non czech or slovakian majorities.
This is where the saying “About us, without us” came from. (in czech: O nás, bez nás)
Whats sad is that western nations seemingly have learned nothing. You dont play ball with an expansionist nation. Its a very similar situation once again where major european nations are too afraid or disinterested in properly helping a smaller nation who is under attack.
A lesson that Ukraine does not want to repeat, with Russia.
The day Britain and France sacrificed 10 million czechoslovaks to nazism in the name of lasting peace
At least Europe never went to war against nazi Germany. It would have been tragically embarassing if war started anyway not even 1 year later
A tragic story.
But at least the Poles didn’t hold joint parades with the Germans.
This is a reminder that so-called de-escalation and indulgences don’t work that well with aggressive regimes like Russian.
Abandoned would have been nice. They were strong-armed by the “allies” to give Hitler what he wanted to save the “peace in our time” or else.
Appeasing genocidal fascists never works, example number 383.
And to the mercy of Poland 2 days after…
Over 1 200 000 men were mobilised prior to this.
that’s almost same as what Trump was trying to do at Alaska few weeks ago
Putin probably looks at this photo and thinks “why not me?”
“About us, without us.”
What do Czech people think about President Beneš? It seems like he was too lenient — first with the Nazis, then with the Communists
Czechs and Slovaks under NATO protection now. And the Poles and Baltic States. They haven’t been invaded since joining.
Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova should’ve also rushed to join NATO in the early 2000’s when Russia was weaker and couldn’t do anything about NATO expansion.
I wonder how it would’ve been if Czechoslovakia would’ve rejected the treaty. Would’ve they been able to survive with Allied help?
Ukraine knows just how they feel
Abandoned? Not only. They both said that if Hitler attacks Czechoslovakia, they wont help. This is how Hitler got their blessing without even firing a shot and could save the energy for conquering France
Yeah let’s repeat it with Ukraine… /s
And now Czech Republic is on the verge of voting them in again
Yes, right: lets use Nazi’s only. Not Germany.
And now it’s Trump and Putin repeating all the same mistakes.
Just watched Munich – Edge of War, this weekend. Even more reason to further look into it.
Thankfully we eventually beat the Nazi’s and then gave the Soviets all of Eastern Europe.
What is abondend?
In hindsight , it is a great thing that Munich is remembered as an infamy.
I wonder how many would have thought that on the moment though. I don’t mean Churchill (war or dishonor) or even Daladier who famously cursed French people for their stupidity applauding him on his return, but people in the street who did not want to pay the price of war. Now we know it would have been best to draw a line in the sand then. But when you live the moment, you don’t want to contemplate millions of death, including yours potentially.
Coming back to my point about this being great, the reluctant majority can now be told to look back on this and make a choice when Putin starts applying pressure on Moldova, Romania, Estonia or Poland….
