Thank you Burizoon for your comment. Excellent comment and good to know. As I said, if I get things wrong please correct me although I don't think it detracts from the main thrust of the video.
Ok, I got curious after watching the part II video and have to say this one is much better. By the way, the reason Hitler was angry was because he didn't expect the Czechoslovak government to agree to the Munich terms. His intention all along was to occupy the whole of Czechia, and use the border issue as a casus belli. So he felt trapped about how he could now justify annexing an area that was overwhelmingly Czech.
Karel, thank you so much for your comments. It is positive, supportive comments like yours that give me the impetus to create more videos. Glad you liked the Astronomical clock video - so, far it's 'my greatest hit' :)
Yes, and it was very foolish of the poles to participate in the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia because it gave the Germans, who were in fact solely responsible for this outrage, a useful cover to anyone who sought to point out that NAZI aggression was responsible. Poland had its own problems with a corrupt right-wing military government that failed to understand what was happening. And we know that President Benes of Czechoslovakia agreed to cede some disputed territories to Poland to deny them to Germany.
In Icelandic, when you have R on end of the word, it sounds very close to Czech Ř. Finally someone nicely explained 1938 problem in English, I see how foreigners completely don't understand it, they are saying Czechs were nazi allies and such nonsenses. BTW, something like Sudeten German never existed before, it was 100% artifical therm created by nazis if I am not wrong. They wanted some reason why that region should be part of Germany, but it was all lies, it was always part of Czech lands.
@@Osterochse My point was that when you are going to some palce or region, it's better do say "I am going to Liberec" or other city or place, instead of constantly saying that nonsense with suddetenland, it's precise similar as if I would say "I am going to Europe." Even if I admit that name Sudety is legit and not nazi, it's too general, it can be everywhere.
The Ř sound looks like the way we say it in Dutch. The German R sounds like a hybrid of the Dutch R and the the non-rhotic version of an R in English :)
Part of it belonged to Poland, and when the Germans marched into the former Czech Republik Poland also got a piece of the cake. This seems to have been forgotten by those who have written the story of European history.
Our polish brothers have also ř, its written as rz as they still use ancient writing we used before as well. It sounds slightly different, cause other part of mouth is used, but maybe you wouldnt hear the difference.
Peter, thank you for the comment. Yes, I think someone mentioned that previously - so, it is something that I am now aware of. Yes, you are right, I probably couldn't hear the difference - I have sometimes have trouble distinguishing Czech sounds especially when spoken very fast :).
Your map of Czechoslovakia belong to this topic is wrong, your map is as it was after WW2 and after SSSR take Karpatian Ukraine. You mention industrial and economical power, fun facts 1) between wars Czechoslovakia belong to 3 most weapon industry states in the world (artillery, guns, tanks, planes, cars) and couple of years been number 1 in the world, 2) between states affected by financial crisis in 1930s Czechoslovakia was only one in the world economicaly strong enough not even one bank go bankrupt (also Russia, but Soviets been out of western world economic system at that time). Interesting documentary with contemporary witnesses of occupation ruclips.net/video/esApiEdAebw/видео.html especially at 29:45 they are talking about German soldiers in Prague think they was in heaven because of Prague and Czechoslovakia wealth.
Stasek, thank you for your detailed comments - very informative, I will check it out. Without doubt the Nazis wanted to get the hands on the Czech Military manufacturing capability - many Czechs have told me that škoda tanks were far better than anything the Nazis as the Skoda tanks ended up being Panzers. In addition, the British licensed a version of the Czechoslovak ZGB 33 light machine gun to make the Bren light machine gun. So, the Czechs skill at manufacturing military equipment is clear. I also do mention that Czechslovakia was one of ten most industrialised nations - and successful economies of the inter war years - but it was affected by the depression, too. That aside, in this video, I just wanted to focus on the key characters and key events from the Czech point of view - and why they felt betrayed.
@@MrMajsterixx Yes, sounds are the same, I am czech too, and polish is my second native language. No to já jsem taky a umím taky polsky jako druhý rodný jazyk..., umíte vůbec polsky?
@@belkolam If you think Ř and RZ is same sound, then you can't really know Polish or Czech language. Or maybe you know only some Polish dialect from some border region. RZ is somewhere between our ř and Polish ż. But in some words (like rzeka), it's very close to czech Ř, but very depends on speaker and his dialect or accent.
Border regions with German population was not hit hard becouse it was industrilise but becouse of it´s kind of industry ( wood processing, glass work etc) has no comsumers during crisis
Mirinovic, once again thank you for your comments. In my research (links in the description) they authors would agree with you. In a depression, no-one has the money to buy goods, so you would expect Liberec - a glass-making region, to be affected by the down turn. In the video, I do show the areas close to the Polish, German and Austrian borders in the second VO - I also show a map with the areas marked in black. If, that is still not clear do come back to me. Also, perhaps you could put some links to your sources. Best. MG
Your Ř is actually superb!
Thank you, Jakub. That means a lot to me. I have been practising every day since I got here :).
I have just discovered this channel . totally amazing. it will help me greatly for my studies at university. captivating . thank you
Thank you, Judith. It is good to know that people find my videos useful. Good luck with your studies.
Very good channel! Good job continue in what you do.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comments.
You explained it brilliantly. Cheers.
Thank you, and my apologies for taking so long to reply.
Beautiful work sir.
Kishore, thank you so much. It makes compiling these videos entirely worth it.
The pre ww2 CS map is incorrect. It is missing the “zakarpatska rus” this land was taken away from CZ after ww2 and added to soviet union.
Thank you Burizoon for your comment. Excellent comment and good to know. As I said, if I get things wrong please correct me although I don't think it detracts from the main thrust of the video.
Podkarpatská rus...

Again, a great work! 👍
And, thank you again! :)
The terrible betrayal of the Cech prople by its allies. Lesson often repeated was " TRUST NO ONE."
A great explanation of complex problems/issues. The astronomical clock was your masterpiece! A few Czechs can understand, much less explain it.
Karel, thank you so much for your comments. It is positive, supportive comments like yours that give me the impetus to create more videos. Glad you liked the Astronomical clock video - so, far it's 'my greatest hit' :)
There is more to the betrayal. Poland took a bite as well.

im from czech and your Ř is actually good
Thank you, Adolf - that's good to know.
"O nás, bez nás" (About us, without us), resonates to this day.
Absolutely, Antonin! Thank you for your comment.

Ondrej, again thank you for your comments. I only learned the full story when I started to live here and saw the Czech point of view.
@@TheMaskedGuide I fixed few typing errors, I don't know why I always type different word accidentaly in English. :-)

Perfect! 👌🏻
Why, thank you , Martin :)
So in other words Germany just wanted the previous lands from before WW1 back. How convenient we're never told this.
4:32 Me agen Selesia that now is part of Poland was Germaan theritory prior WW2, so this area you mention border only germeny and Austria
Part of it belonged to Poland, and when the Germans marched into the former Czech Republik Poland also got a piece of the cake. This seems to have been forgotten by those who have written the story of European history.
@@henryseidel5469 No Těšin coutry blong to Czech kingdom then west part of it to czechoslovakia periot.
Ř also exists in Polish, but written as RZ.
Thank you, Mike for your comment. I now know that and that is why it is great when people like yourself take time to comment.

Sounds of Czech letters ř, š, č are the same as Polish dighraphs rz, sz, cz which ware present in Czech language until 15th century
