Henlein grew up in a region where ethnic tension between the German and Czech communities was a constant feature of daily life.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Germans in Reichenbach, today's Czech Liberets, regarded Czechs as cultural inferiors, and the resentments of that world shaped Henlein's sense of identity from an early age.
speaker_0NARRATOR
He attended a business school in the town of Gablonc, Andernice, today Jablonec nad Niso, in the northwestern part of the present-day Czech Republic, and in 1916 he volunteered for the Austro-Hungarian army to fight in the First World War, which started in 1914.
speaker_0NARRATOR
He was sent to the Italian front, where he was captured and spent the remainder of the conflict as a prisoner of war.
speaker_0NARRATOR
In private, however, he was receiving money and direction from Nazi Germany regarding his politics against Czechoslovakia.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Yet, Henlein continued to cultivate the image of a reasonable man, with legitimate criticisms against the Czechoslovak Republic.
speaker_0NARRATOR
He spoke of a central European common space, of reconciliation between Germans and Czechs, and of cultural coexistence of these two nations.
speaker_0NARRATOR
But behind this language, his party discouraged its followers from buying from Czech or Jewish businesses, used the code phrase Christian worldview to signal anti-Semitism, and maintained close organizational ties to the Nazi movement across the Czechoslovak-German border.

Miloš FormanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So I decided to turn on the radio and there they were announcing that the armies of the brotherly forces had entered the territory of Czechoslovakia and so on.
Miloš FormanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What were your feelings? Well, my feelings were interesting because I talked a lot about the situation.
Miloš FormanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
While the feelings were interesting because there had been a lot of talks about that situation, what was interesting was that none of the Czechs believed it would happen, whereas my foreign friends, the French or the English, all insisted it would.
Miloš FormanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And none of the Czechs believed it.
MikeHOST
That's cool.
MikeHOST
So so the so the Czechs actually had to give them the film because they owned it or else there would be like violating international law.

Patrícia PolakovičováHOST
The establishment of Czechoslovakia on 28 October 1918 marked the beginning of a new chapter for both Czechs and Slovaks, but the creation of the common state was preceded by years of political negotiations, diplomatic efforts, and cooperation between those who believed in an independent future.
Patrícia PolakovičováHOST
Among the leading figures of this movement was Tomáš Garík Masaryk, whose activities abroad helped secure international support for a new state.
Patrícia PolakovičováHOST
But what role did his relationship with Milan Rasislav Štefánik play in these efforts, and how did the two nations envision their future together? Our late colleague from the English section, Anna Dragu, explored these questions in a report from 2019.
Anka DraguCORRESPONDENT
When the First World War broke out, both Czechs and Slovaks were people living in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Anka DraguCORRESPONDENT
When this collapsed, the opportunity of creating a homeland for all the northern Slavs in the Habsburg Empire, who were not Poles, appeared on the table.
Anka DraguCORRESPONDENT
It was called Czechoslovakia and was created on October 28, 1918.
Anka DraguCORRESPONDENT
Today we dig in our archive to take a look at two key players in this process of creating Czechoslovakia.

John HorseyGUEST
I think the Czechs, in my opinion, are probably the best all-round country in the world.
John HorseyGUEST
The French are very close.
John HorseyGUEST
But then you get to small rivers and you've got the Spanish who are very good.
Todd BrandtHOST

And I like when the Czechs speak English, but I can deal with Czech porn if it's turned down a little bit, you know? I like when they say the real English words when they're getting banged as opposed to foreign words.
