| Description | The Munich Agreement between representatives of Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom with its appendices represents a momentous document used by the Nazi regime for the negation of the Versailles system. Even though the agreement could not be binding for Czechoslovakia, it led to sharp changes in its legal system associated with the destruction of the last democratic regime in central Europe and the establishment of an asymmetric federation with similarities to fascist Italy. The agreement's invalidity played an important role in Beneš’ concept of Czechoslovakia's continuity during WWII. |
