Summary/Abstract: The Czechoslovak revolutionary movement, from which our national unification and liberation emerged, had a world character not only in its significance and meaning, but also in its course and scope. Being provoked by the World War, it was from the beginning part of the great front of nations fighting for freedom and democracy, and only with their help did it finally achieve its goal, as one of the prerequisites for the common victory of the Allies. The battles that atoned for Bílá Hora were not fought on Czechoslovak soil. For the restoration of their old state and its union with Slovakia, Czechs and Slovaks fought on all battlefields of the world, under the banners of almost all nations and states that had united against the attempt to realize pan-Germanic hegemony. In addition to the resistance at home, where the nation could only suffer and resist in silence for a long time under the pressure of brutal violence, the Czechoslovak revolutionary movement appeared from the very beginning of the war all over the world wherever a larger number of Czechs and The Slovaks found themselves outside the sphere of government of the central powers.
