Abstract
The first Czechoslovak Republic was formed as a result of the defeat of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in World War I and its subsequent collapse. Foreign emigration led by Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk played a central role in the ideological foundation of the new state and in the process of its recognition by foreign powers.
However, the takeover on the ground could not be carried out from Paris or Washington. This definitely required politicians and administrative professionals in Prague and other major cities.
From the summer of 1918, they were concentrated in the Czechoslovak National Commission.
