Abstract: After establishment of the Republic of Czechoslovakia in autumn of 1918, the country’s diplomatic missions were gradually created abroad, including the appointment of the first chargé d’affaires in the USA and creation of consulates in several American cities. The specific content of the work of Czechoslovak diplomats as the representatives of the newly established republic in this period was also adequate acquisition of information about the revisionist activities of countries (especially Hungary), which questioned the Versailles system. The Czechoslovak diplomats in the USA for this reason sensitively responded to the visits of the Hungarian political leaders and their comments on Czechoslovakia, which were carried by the American press. In response to this, the embassy made an effort to publish positive reports about the Republic of Czechoslovakia and Hungary and designated Hungarian propaganda as an extreme threat to peace and stability in post-war Europe, while the Czechoslovak diplomats did not hesitate in demanding an explanation of the problematic statements also from the President of the United States. From 1922, the number of reports on Hungarian propaganda in the reports of diplomats in the USA declined in connection with the adoption of the Act on the dethroning of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine in Hungary as well as for reason of signature of the, so-called, Treaty of Lány between the representatives of the Republic of Czechoslovakia and Austria and accession of Hungary to the United Nations. In Budapest, they drew the conclusion from the arisen situation that without the inevitable substantial changes in the foreign policy constellation of Europe, further attempts at the revision of the peace talks had no chance of success and in the international context, Hungary withdrew and assumed a passive attitude in the issue of revisionism only at the end of the 20s. |
