The poet who believed in noble thoughts. The mental attitude of Viktor Dyk toward fascism
Vopatová, Nicola ; Koura, Petr (advisor) ; Pokorný, Jiří (referee)
This diploma thesis will study the mental attitude of Viktor Dyk (poet, prose writer, and politician) to fascism. The aim of this thesis is to understand the development of his thinking, identify the key historic moments that shaped him, and in doing so, reconstruct his political opinion. Those historic moments are most importantly the events of December 1987, the first world war, the fall of the Habsburg monarchy and the creation of the Czechoslovakian republic (1914-1918). The year 1922 (in which the first fascist groups in Czechoslovakia were created) was crucial for the shaping of his relationship to fascism. The goal of this work is to evaluate, whether Viktor Dyk leaned towards fascism or not. To allow us to study Dyk's relationship to fascism, the first part is dedicated to defining fascism. Afterwards we define the basic principles on which fascism stands. A short chapter is dedicated to Dyk's life, which is important to understand his worldview. The objective of the second part is to analyse Dyk's position on the fascist principles, which were defined in the first part. For this analysis, Dyk's poems, political speeches, journal articles and his prosaic works were used. In the framework of the three principles of fascism (leader, state, and nationalism) are also analysed the motives, which...

Economic and Political Motivations for French Direct Investment in the Czechoslovak Republic During the Interwar Period: Schneider-Creusot's Activities in the Czechoslovak Republic.
Fairchild, David ; Doležalová, Antonie (advisor) ; Benáček, Vladimír (referee)
This study investigates the significant rates of French direct investment in the Czechoslovak Republic during the interwar years, specifically from the end of the First World War until the beginning of the Great Depression. It explores the intersection between external factors that occurred on the European continent and internal factors within the Czechoslovak Republic that drove French direct investment in the new republic during this period. This descriptive thesis uses two case studies of the French economic giant Schneider-Creusot's activities in the Czechoslovak Republic to better understand those motivations. The results from the case studies reveal that the Czechoslovak Republic offered a unique combination of economic stability, natural strategic location, and notable levels of historic productivity. These factors, coupled with the outcome of the Russian Revolution and the Treaty of Versailles, attracted high levels of French direct investment from 1918 to 1929. French foreign policy in the region was driven more heavily by economic fears and opportunities than by political ones. Key Words Czechoslovak Republic, France, Schneider-Creusot, foreign direct investment, interwar period Title Economic and Political Motivations for French Direct Investment in the Czechoslovak Republic During...

Běhavá, Aneta ; Cebe, Jan (advisor) ; Groman, Martin (referee)
This thesis focuses on the depictions of Czech and Czechoslovak presidents in caricature. It deals with the timespan between the foundation of Czechoslovakia and the present, within which it examines the cartoon representations of presidents. The thesis deals with the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic, the Second Czechoslovak Republic, the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the period from 1945 to 1948 (also known as the Third Czechoslovak Republic), the communist regime of the 1950s and 1960s, the Prague Spring, the era of normalization and the Velvet Revolution. It aims to describe the reasons why and how each president is depicted in one way or another within a given era, or in some cases why he is not depicted at all. The thesis pays special attention to the issues of freedom of the press and speech and also to the laws against the defamation of the head of state, and sees them as direct factors influencing the depictions. The thesis further aims to place the cartoons in their socio-political context and deduce from it what was the public perception of each head of state in the various stages of our history. The research sample is primarily based on period caricatures in the press, containing a wide spectrum of opinions and periodicity. The thesis also uses file catalogs of the most...

This bachelor thesis aims to describe the Czechoslovak resistance plans for the post- war organization of Czechoslovakia which were to be implemented after the end of the Second World War but have never been accomplished. Firstly, the situation in the Czechoslovak resistance is presented. The paper discusses the formation of the Czechoslovak resistance, its transformation into the Czechoslovak government-in-exile, activities of the resistance and problems which needed to be dealt with. This part is essential for understanding latter chapters of the paper. The plans for the post-war organization of Czechoslovakia are studied in the main part of the thesis. The paper features concepts concerning topics such as potential territorial changes, federalisation of Central Europe (including the Czechoslovak-Polish Confederation project), future political system, and the Sudeten German issue. Each concept is described in the context of its background, its development over the course of war, and position of the Allies. The thesis explains the reasons why these plans were abandoned and not carried out after the end of the war.
