Conflicts between Czechs and Slovaks in Canadian Exile, 1945-1968
Čadek, Matěj ; Raška, Francis (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
Bachelor's thesis Conflicts between Czechs and Slovaks in Canadian Exile, 1945-1968 examines an eventful chapter of the Czechoslovak postwar exile history. It depicts the development, ways of organization, and unique nature of the Czechoslovak exile in Canada. The study describes two principal levels of the conflicts between the Czechs and Slovaks in Canadian exile: Firstly, the dispute over Slovakia's position in a common Czechoslovak state among the democratic exiles, and secondly, the conflict between the Slovak separatists and the idea of a unitary state of Czechoslovakia as such, defended by democratic exiles. This bachelor's thesis uses key sources in order to illustrate the tensions, and analyses the argumentation of different participants, their historical narratives and political mythology. It concludes by using the findings to seek the overall cause of the conflict.
