Fišar, Jan ; Šístek, František (advisor) ; Žíla, Ondřej (referee)
National identity is an important part of not only newly created state's identification and is reflected also in its foreign policy.

The Intervention of the Central Czecho-Slovak Government in Slovakia in March 1939, Causes and Consequences
Fišar, Jan ; Irmanová, Eva (advisor) ; Švec, Luboš (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the political-military intervention of the Czecho-Slovak government in Slovakia in March 1939 focused on the stabilization of domestic tensed situation. The main aim of the thesis is to find out, which causes and consequences led to the intervention and analyse the perception of the intervention from Czech, Slovak and foreign perspective. For that reason an analysis of the tensed domestic situation influenced by the Slovak autonomistic and secessionist movement as well as unfavourable international situation in 1938 and 1939 seems to be necessary. Another part of the thesis is an analysis of the immediate causes and consequences of the intervention for the Czechoslovakia as well as an outline of its course. The final part is dedicated to the analysis of the old Czech, Slovak and German press and the perception of the intervention from their point of view. This is also important for the understanding of the perception of the intervention in 1939.
