Bujna, Rudolf ; Stellner, František (advisor) ; Soběhart, Radek (referee)
After the formation of Czechoslovakia, which was not completely agreed upon by neighboring states, the primary need was to establish a strong army capable of protecting the nation from the attacks from abroad. The creation of the army required lots of diplomatic activity as well as resources, because after World War I, the only units ready for fight were the militia and groups of legionaries, who in addition were not uniformly armed. During the first eight years, the funding of the army consisted mainly of budget allowances. After 1927's reform it was also a fund newly created to allow a long term planning. During the years of thread, the funding by a debt was introduced, due to increase in costs in defenses against the German expansion. In response to this, the amount of Czechoslovakian engagements significantly rose. Finally, the question of readiness to fight and defense in conflict with German aggression arises.
