*Bonus reading:* Something that surprised me in researching this story is the similarity in how Czechoslovakia and Israel used their national diasporas to drum up support and financing for their national projects. Both future states had millions of nationals living in countries around the world. If not for those nationals - particularly the ones living in America - the recreation of their states may not have been possible. Perhaps that similarity is why Czechoslovakia was the only nation willing to sell arms to Israel during its independence war… which you can learn about here: ruclips.net/video/ju2Nd6621ts/видео.html
The Legion also played a role in liberating Korea from Japan, or at least their guns did. Because the Czechoslovaks sympathized with the Korean struggle, they supplied them with thousands of guns they no longer needed when they left Vladivostok. They were instrumental in the Battle of Qingshanli and served the Koreans until the end of World War II.
Are you Jewish?
@@symon4510 his name is Ezekiel...
*Speaking of Czechoslovakia and Israel...*
Both Masaryk and Herzl had many similarities. Both of them were democratic socialists,
both of them learned at the University of Vienna (sometimes even in parallel)
both were visionaries of a country
Both worked very hard to convince world powers to support recognition and sympathy for their nation
Both fiercely objected to violence, racism in general and specifically Anti-Semitism.
Despite being born in Pest (today half of Budapest) Herzl's families lived half in Czechia and half in Slovakia in the 18th century, just like Masaryk's parents.
In the 1948 Arab-Israeli war (Israeli independence war), Czechoslovakia was *the only country* that helped Israel, by sending small equipment delivery and by training Jewish pilots in Czechoslovakia (until the USA threatened Czechoslovakia to cease it).
To this day Czechia is one of the closest allies of Israel.
In Israel today, there are numerous places named after Masaryk and even a town.
I'd like to imagine they both met one day in one of the famous café houses in Vienna... ruclips.net/video/_QejexLmpaM/видео.html
@@cageybee7221
It's the name of the channel, not his name. And it is a clear reference to Ezekiel "prophet".
Which is way way more popular in Christianity rather among Jews.
Funfact: Czechoslovak legionaries in Italy were the first to return to newly created Czechoslovakia in 1918 and were immediately drafted into fights for new state borders, most notably in the war against the Hungarian Soviet Republic.
The moment when you kill thousands of Poles because they violated Czechoslovak Sovereignty and wanted a railway
And Poland in the seven-day war ( that's at least how Czechs call it)
@@loot_bandit9485 "Thousands"
Neither side had even a hundred dead soldiers, it was a pretty small skirmish.
@@BRT-nz7bk we had soviet marching on warsaw at that point so we forgot this conlfict
It wasn't really a soviet republic just communist
The Legion's story reads like a real life action movie.
@@kralicidoupe385 Exactly what it seems like, he procreated with the Sun.
@@notme8232 His pp may have suffered the worst
@@kralicidoupe385 what is wrong?
the Czechoslovak Legion had the bravest and there sacrifice was not in vain respect
They were really lucky. Lot of other National Legions were not.
it was in vain since our country lasted 20 years and then we were sold out and after WW2 Communists took over it was in vain
@@itshenry8977 Well for that you can blame Allies like United States, that doesn't know what id going on, England that is too busy with keeping thier sick megalomania and Russians - for having a bad luck to leaders.
But that fight was not pointless, you were able to do something that was just in mind hard to do, yet still you managed to do it.
The first non-Russia army to fight the red Bolsheviks and comunism
even though Czechoslovakia broke apart, it was the most peaceful separation ever. We are still brothers until these days and we love each other.
pojebaný hokej
I'm Czech merry to Slovak. No more to say....😍
So why did you split? I dont see any reason why not just continue as a federate state or even a confederation.
Checkia is a midle power in europe and slovakia alone is a nonconsideration, together they could be something more.
@@k3kboi665 slovaks felt oppresed i think, would be interesting to reunite it now tho
@@k3kboi665 sometimes the need to assert yourself as an individual entity outweighs the need for monetary or political power and relevance. I simply remain pleased that it did not devolve into ethnic or cultural chauvinism as has happened so often in the past, and especially around the same time when Yugoslavia fell apart. A quote I recently read on modern Czech and Slovak relations and found powerful: "Brothers remain Brothers even when they no longer share the same house".

While the story of the Czechoslovak legion ends with its return to independent Czechoslovakia, the story of legionnaires does not.
Many of them stayed in the army, and when the Munich came, they were amongs the first to be mobilized. When their country was wiped out from the map, they were the first to form the resistance. During the war, Czechoslovaks fought on every front, from the invasion of Poland to the race to Prague, with former legionnaires leading the new generation against the Nazis. Sadly, when the war ended and the communists took the power, they were purposefully targeted, stripped of all honors and hunted down. Many of them were exiled, imprisoned or executed. Their story was almost forbidden to tell during the communist rule, but thankfully, some of them (while very, very few) lived long enough to see the freedom of their country restored. The last of them, Alois Vocásek, died with that knowledge in 2003 (he was 107 years old).
Awesome! Thanks for the additional info
What an amazing adventure. Imagine being one of those soldiers who fought in this struggle. Fighting all over siberia and on the Sea. Alongside your Czech and slovak brothers to finally gain independence. To return home through the sea, by train across the continental United state and finally returning to your home country and family. What a life they have lived.
My grand-grandfather was one of them. From what I've heard from my father, he had some horrible stories to tell. I remember one, about eating their own boots. They were made from leather, and it took a long time to cook them until they were chewable, cut into short strings. We tend to think about them as this heroic army, but the reality of the conflict wasn't glorious. The video mentions "left without supplies". Heh. Imagine being in Siberia, without food or ammunition, constantly on the move. Fighting with Russians for your life, and the hope that you may see your home again. Not for a week, not for a few months, but for years.
@@Bystroushaak still doesn't take away from what your grandpa and his comrades did.
He probably wasn't intimidated by a damn thing for rhe rest of his life.
@@scottdodge6979 Yes, that is true. He lived long enough to see the nazi occupation, and he is credited with creating a secret underground hideout in the old house, where my father still lives. There was a rock bottom under the house, so he blasted it during the storms, masking the explosions as thunder. The hideout was for food, not for people, but the penalty for hiding food when you were a small farmer was death. He also kept a rifle at home (also punishable by death). From what I've heard from my father, he was also a carpenter, famously walking in clogs (wooden shoes) on the roof timbers, without any fear of falling. But my grand-grandfather was mostly just grateful to be home. I don't know how to properly describe it. Maybe as a rescue puppy is happy to have a new family. He was super nice and helpful to the community in the village, often working for free just to help people with their houses. The stories he told to my father had a huge effect, basically making my father a pacifist. He avoided mandatory military service during the communist occupation and never got into any fights.
I don't want to blemish their bravery and sacrafice since my nation personally knows the struggles of revolutionaries for national independence and how every other country would exploit them as free mercenaries to persue their own personal interests, but didn't the Czechoslovakian legion fought in the civil war of other country, that had absolutely nothing to do with them, only because of the empty promises of the west?
@@peterdenov4898 Bullshit, they were allies of Russians, and after they collapsed, they wanted to leave peacefully to France. It's not their fault that Bolsheviks tried to screw them over and stop them from leaving the country.
To all Czech and Slovaks, do you have any nostalgia for those united times
For me a Czech that did not live during the split, I still feel that Czechoslovakia was grate country, many people in South America, for example, still after almost 30 years have no idea about any split. This just shows the true big impact the country made. I love the fact that we share so much of our history. I love my Slovak brothers, I dream that the two countries would reconnect one day.
We may joke about the Slovaks sometimes, but in our hearts we just want them back.
We are true brothers, we have together music, media and almost all stuff, if you are slovak or czech you will understand eatch other almost always
yes
A memory of Czechoslovakia is a great, but also traumatic. After all the occupation and oppression, the state was not able to work again like it did before the WW2, it was time to go our separate ways.
Yo Spielberg, this is some serious 'Band of Brothers' material right here. I'd watch the hell outta a series based on the legions, what an epic and honestly quite unknown tale.
I second this motion. Bonus points if it's shot in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (I'm told the Czechs are rather proud of their film industry)
The last thing this story needs is american filmmakers to butcher our history.
-lets mention democracy every 5 mins
-add a few women to show how woke czechoslovaks were with elections right in 1918
-blackwash these soldiers
-add a rabbi to these atheists
-add explosions. Big, fiery explosions.
- add train chase, what do you mean the railway was mostly single track?
@@Pyrochemik007 Didn't say it had to be American - only mentioned Spielberg because he's done a phenomenal job with BoB - undeniably - which has a similar vibe to what this would essentially be.
Besides, from what I've seen of the Jan Zizka movie, which is written and directed by a Czech, and albeit it being an international production it's looking pretty damn good. So obviously Czech - and Slovak - production could easily nail this with the proper funding and good script.
@@NatsumiMichi There is no way russia allows that film to be made in it´s territory. Those bastards do not even care for graves of legionaires according to international deal they signed. Or paying back the debt from soviet era, which represents only a tiny fraction of what they stole in czechoslovakia.
@@firestorm165 Indeed we are, like its not big, but usually high quality. Just like majority of stuff in this small, unknown country.
We need a sabaton song about these guys
I agree. Atleast we have "1648" and "Far from the Fame".
Honestly surprised it hasn't happened yet
Finally. This is where the fun begins!
I am Czech, and my high school teacher of multimedia made a few school hours about his grandpa who was a legioner. He was teaching us russian civil war through photos and stories of his grandpa. That was cool. Also in Czechia there is a Legion train exhibition, and it's a train that go through the whole country, you can visit it and see how they lived. I was here and it's nice.
Papa Masaryk if only you knew how everyone betrayed us and sold us out. These Vampires are still sucking our blood.
Yea, Munich Agreement how sad that we were sold out by allies.
Everyone except USA, Japan.
These two are the ONLY original country allies that didn't have participation in Munich
Hey btw, thanks for playing the Slovak half of the anthem, feels good
I agree. It felt great.
Dobre
Thank you for the video, it seems you know more of my country's history than I do. I only regret there was no mention of Milan R. Štefanik - probably the only person in the world who died in an aviation accident and later had the crash site almost exactly marked by an intersection of two perpendicular runways of an international airport, resembling a giant cross from above, and the airport itself named in his honour.
Fun fact: Štefánik was a Slovak
@@BRT-nz7bk No it's not. It's just a fact.
@@tomaspaulicek3866 your right
Yeah its sad they havent mentioned him. He was a true hero.
As a Czech, I really appreciated this Czechoslovak Legion miniseries. I have really enjoyed it, so thank you for that.
Keep on making such videos. :D
Wery nice video👍. It is truth. Maybe he missed only Czechoslovak pilots and brigades fighting against Germany for 2ww. It could have been a video as part 3 😁. I'm very happy that the made videos of Czechoslovak history.👏😉🇨🇿
Oh hey fun fact, there is a song made by a band called Sabaton about those pilots and its called Aces in exile.
@@denisjankovic2164 Vím je to skvělá písnička, osobně hodně poslouchám sabatony.😄
it would be interesting to hear about others slav states
love from serbia
I'm from Slovakia, we have similiar Language.
Slovak test:
Do you like Hungary?
Fun facts: There were also legionnaires fighting in Serbia during the WW1, as many Czechs and Slovaks were unhappy that they had to fight against the Serbs and deserted to their side.
@@sebastianchovan2762 není slovensko náhodou maďarsko 😅ne dělám si jen soufky sorry jinak to nešlo musel jsem
Ezekiel, i am Czech and watched your both Czechoslovak Legion videos, and i gotta say, you get a Czech seal of aproval. I liked them, my mother did too :)
And i give it the Slovak seal of approval.
@@denisjankovic2164 that's funny because my great-grandma was slovak too so im technically czechoslovak :D
damn we actually got part 2 (:
Oh no i am being threatened
Land lock country.
Wins a naval battle a continent away before formaly existing.
And the Czechoslovakian Legion leave, they sell the weapons to the Korean independence army to fight against Japan. And the Korean independence army use the weapon to lead the victory in the battle of chongsanli(청산리 대첩).
I live in DC for university, and I usually run by Mass Ave NW, which has a lot of embassies. One of the statues in DC is one for Tomas Masaryk.
It’s funny because I’ve been to Prague where I saw a statue of Masaryk and I only noticed the DC one much later on.
Love from romania. Romania and czechoslovakia have allways been friends :)
Hey! Czechs will allways help our Romanian friends when some disaster hits your country.
Ye old days when we shared a border
we never forget that Romania was ready to stand with us against Hungary and Germany. Unfortunatelly we didnt have a chance do defend ourselves
Thanks for doing this series and teaching the world something about our little country (countries). As a Slovak, I can say that Czechs are like our siblings, we both love and care for each other but somethimes we get into fights for the little things. And I can probably also say that things are going better if we have two separate countries with separate governments. And the part with Nad Tatrou sa blýska in the ending kinda got me
oh man, hearing the Slovak anthem at the end was… beautiful
And unexpected.
My heart cry’s for for Czechoslovakia I had no idea of such a badass struggle, first I time I read about their country was in school about how the Allies sold out the czech for to hitler for peace, I always thought “huh maybe it was a necessary evil for a great reason” I had no real idea of what they’ve been thru and the advancements they achieved in Eastern Europe.
I think the best reason for national pride, is not building a large empire, but when your nation does something badass (that's why I think Cossacks were cool).
Ah I love that you included the hoi combat system, now with no step back this is finally possible
I really wish the czechs and slovaks didn't break up. They went through so much together only to abandon each other when they got a breath of fresh air
It was kind of a political deal, we are brothers, very close ones for sure, but we're still two separate groups of people. But we broke up in a good manner, no fighting and violence, just splitting the nation in a clean and civilised manner. Many nations didn't have such peaceful splitting. Nowadays when everything has cooled off and all most young people actually say it would've been better if we were still together. Whether it's true is highly debatable, but hey, I'm all for peaceful merging of nations if such a thing was to be proposed.
There are no hard feelings between us, if that makes it better. We are happy that we have our own countries, and we will protect each other to keep it that way for the future generations.
Díky
They are the definition of “fuck around and find out”
My great Grandpa, Apko, was a slovak maquis leader during the resistance against the nazis, he didn't talk much about the fighting. He got wounded on the hand and couldn't use his middle finger (yes very funny). He did mention that most of the men were experienced fighters from the Czechoslovak legion, and that they were patriots like no other. Some of them even continued to resist against the communist during the cold war, by passing fleeing political oponents to Austria via the Danube river. His son, Karol, was able to imigrate to France. When the communist left power and Slovakia gained independance, my grandpa told me he saw him cry for the first time. He died a few years after the independance, my grandpa died recently of covid. I can't even speak slovak. I just wish Czechs and Slovaks never have to live through this again ...
As a slovak I can agree on having some tensions between slovaks and czechs (which can be present to this day), basically we have a bit different mentalities, although I think we share this "brothership" between us despite and because of the past. Great videos, I didnt even know bout those legions, super interesting and cool at the same time cuz they were from my country!
yeah being born after the split, I think it would take only few years in democracy for us to turn on each other, some people would love to use religion and nationality to fill the power void after the fall of the regime, and if we share something it's definitely stupidity and xenofobia
As a czech citizen born in Czechoslovakia and grandson of two legionaries (one in Italy, one in Russia) I thank you for bringing this topic to public knowledge in such a nice way.
100% naval win rate czechoslovakia
I am a Slovak, and im proud of my Slovak and Czech ancestors.
I looked at lot of videos and documentaries about Czechoslovak legion but any of them get me so excited in then this series.
Really nice done ,or as a Slovak would say "Vážne pekne spracovane"
5:53 Oh, I see a Revolution being Under Siege here ;))
9:00 In my opinion, you could have commented more on how France and Britain literally gave us the Hitlers without our consent in order to give the Hitlers what he wanted and avert the ww2 + (all our allies also coughed at us). But we all know how it turned out. The Czechs call it an agreement about us without us. Otherwise a very nice series.
YES!!!
I'VE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR THIS
Milan Rastislav Stefanik, Tomas Garik Masarik. Name a more iconic duo.
Emmm btw Masaryk is with Y not I
*Now that you did the Czechoslovak Legion, let's see if the whole concept of Yugoslavia will fair any better.*
As a Slovak, I really love these videos. It really means a ton. And i appreciate the national anthem of Slovakia at the end
Nice work! Using HoI-esque pictures was a good detail which could be used more in the future (including Victoria II theme). Not to mention I feel a little warmth in my heart to know more people are now aware of the Czechoslovak Legion. Thank you.
Would it be possible to make a similiar video about the Munich Agreement and alternate timeline if we said no to Munich, Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren and forces in Exile?
This is literally an odyssey, an adventure. Are there any GOOD movies about the Czechoslovak Legion? Perhaps animated? If not then there should be, it's such a powerful story.
Yes, definitely an epic material for a war movie. There were few films made during the 1920s and 1930s, but none after 1945. The topic was not exactly something that could be covered during the period of communist rule in Czechoslovakia till 1989. And after 1989, only few war movies made were WW2 topic.
There has been some talk about making film on the legion few years ago.... but I have not heard anything since- looks like the producers have not find the funding for the movie (which would be undoubtedly quite expensive with all the period stuff )
Here is some promo material for that funding drive:
ruclips.net/video/wAbIWhcuUlU/видео.html
The slovak anthem at the end is perfect
please make more content on Czechoslovakia maybe the war with Hungary or Poland between ww1 and ww2 or the Munich agreement
You mean Munich betrayment? and what war with Hungary or Poland? in 1919-1920 or 1938?
As a Czech, thank you for this video!
The Czechslovak Legion deserves a huge budget movie! or a Videogame.
Done! (the videogame)
Finnaly a good video about my favorite story bcs my dad always was talking about this bcs we are slovakian even tho my grand grandpa was polish and came to austro hungary
Was the ending a foreshadowing for Nestor Makhno and the 'Black Army' being the subject of the next video?
I kinda hoped that the Polish Siberian Division, which was involved in the epic of the Czechoslovak Legion, will be briefly mentioned. Good video regardless.
Finally :D
Thx for making a series about us and our slovakian brothers.

We won against Germans, US, Russia, Austria and many more. Glory to the Czechoslovakia.
Lindybaige once participated in a reenactment of the march. Must have been astonishing. Wanna do that one day as well
the qoute at the end of the video preety much apllies to any small country
Loved the first part! Loved the second part! Loved that you used our anthems at the end of the videos! Awesome work and thanks for sharing a part of my peoples history with the world! Love from Bratislava!
The Slovak anthem at the end is just, perfect.
1:16 "We support small African nations" - so funny, so true.
The picture at 1:10 , absolute history lesson polandball gold.
Could maybe do the story of Serbia in WW1; Like. . .went thru the whole Albanian mountains; still didn't surrender; form a whole government + army + refugees on a singular island; then rejoined the salonica front and after that founded the Kingdom of Yugo and all that?
The Czechoslovak legion in Serbia also went through Albania together with the Serbs and then joined the French to make the Czechoslovak legion in France
And now Czechia has no Germans that could betray us. No Russians to puppeteer us. We have a strong economy and a growing army, we shall be truly independent one day.
Ethnic purdging what a moral dilemma
@@electricangel4488 it's not hard when verifiably over 90% of Germans voted for SdP (Czechoslovak NSDAP) in 1935. Not saying they deserved what they got after the war in the first wave, but they definitely deserved to be peacefully deported
If you want to be truly free stop being friendly with Orban.
@@redcrown5070 Orban is certainly not the one taking place of old tyrants, dictating what we can and what we cannot. Freedom is dependent on independence from Germany and from institutions it controls.
@GigiGiga they did, it was called the Sudetenland. But that Austrian painter had to the worste. (again)
My great great grandfather was fighting in legion sadly he didnt came back to czechoslovakia.
He was shot in Vladivostok and he is buried there. Hope i will visit Vladiavostok to see my great great grandfather grave.
also the ending quote really stuck with me, its really accurate id say
I’m just enjoying the Vic2 music
amazing video it was nice to hear more about Czechoslovak legion
Krev není voda.
As a Slovak, I just must say that this was one of the best short films of our Czechoslovak history
Well yes but biggest part in fighting for Czechoslovak independence had Milan Rastislav Štefánik.
Fun fact: Slovakia and Japan have been friends since that siberia ralway thing.
And even bigger friends after we left them fully functional brewery after Osaka Expo :D
Prediction for the next episode: CNT FAI: the Iberian Anarchist Federation.
With all the Slavic focused content id bet on the Ukranians or at least both of them at the same time
YESSSS
I WAITED AND FINALY ITS HERE.
I didn't watch on Friday because my birthday is today, I didn't expect Czechoslovak Legion part 2 so I am really happy to watch this on my birthday! I enjoyed the video, and I will definitely keep watching this channels videos!
Awesome job! Part 3 when?
but, thats end, no more

Early enough the allies haven’t sold out Czechoslovakia
Damn, that's pretty early
Great video first time I Czech guy found video about czechoslovak legion it was amazing even through i love history i learned many facts that i didnt know. Very excited for new videos.
Buck when the Czech and Slovak economies were envied by rest of Central Europe and not the other way around
TG Masaryk was born in Hodonín on March 7, 1850. His father was Slovak and worked as a groom, his mother - 10 years older, spoke German.
There better be a movie about these mad men!
This is very, very good video. Dobrá práce
Nice
Just want to throw here a small detail, until the 1919, the bond between The Legions and White Movement was really strong, proof being Admiral Kolchak assigning phenomenal young Czech general (and later nationalist politician) Radola Gajda as leader of entire offensive westwards, liberating among other cities of Novonikolajevsk and Irkutsk and stopping red terror in all cities they captured.
The eventual handing over of Admiral Kolchak to red degenerates was not voluntary (as some anti-Czechoslovak/ anti-White army mongers would want you to believe) and was direct order of French general Maurice Janine, contradicting the original plan of The Legion to smuggle Kolchak with them in one of the Legion's echelons (old term for military train).
Thank you for reading, have a great day.
Awesome! It's finally here!
Czechoslovak legion part 3 when?
I was waiting for this video day and night! Thank you so much for covering this story of my small nation! :)
Big thanks from Slovakia! 🇸🇰
