	Eduard Benes
		Benes became a journalist to earn a living and wrote numerous articles for a paper in Prague. As WWI started, he began an effort to gain autonomy-if not independence-for the Czechs. Meanwhile, Tomas Masaryk suggested union with the Slovaks as a solution to the Czechs' dilemma of being surrounded by the Germans.
		Benes compelled France to give his country military and political aid, and so under French guidance, Benes founded the "Little Entente" whose purpose was to unify the spoilers of Hungary (Czechoslovakia, Rumania, Jugoslavia) against the Magyars. Throughout the 1920s and into the 1930s, Benes exerted great influence in Central European affairs.
		Benes is the author of twelve volumes on political and sociological subjects, almost universally recognized as authorities.

		On 28th October 1918, Beneš as a representative of foreign resistance negotiated with native politicians in Geneva and after an agreement with them he became the first Minister of Foreign Affairs of the new state.
		Beneš rejected the Marxism, but he advocated socialistic meanings and one of the most important results of the World War I in his eyes was the general development to the agrarian and labour democracy and also the natural and unavoidable weakening of urban bourgeoisie.
		In September 1938, Beneš was forced to accept the Munich Agreement, under the pressure of British and French governments.

	Central Europe Review - Book Review: The Life of Edvard Benes, 1884-1948
		This co-founder of the nation came to be disliked, if not detested, by almost everyone he had to deal with, Czechoslovak and foreign; the libertarian, tolerant democracy he had nurtured during the 1920s and 1930s became the state which expelled racial minorities; and his alleged mastery of diplomacy left him tied in knots by Stalin.
		And it is difficult to escape the conclusion that from an early stage Benes knew this, or should have known it if he had had the humility to allow the evidence to overcome his prejudgements.
		For Benes, Benes always knew best whether it was when telling others that the communists could be house-trained, or that Hitler would be brought to book as soon as he crossed swords with the French.

	Reinventing Central Europe?
		Born in 1884, Benes played a considerable role in the emergence of the Czechoslovakian state and is still seen by the majority of Czechs as a symbol of the democratic system of the First Republic that existed between 1918 and 1938, and of anti-German resistance.
		Benes also managed to procure the support of the allies for the repopulation of the Germans which was indeed carried out.
		Thus Edvard Benes who drew the conclusions of the war in the form of the forced repopulation of minorities can fairly be seen as a captive of the idea of the nation state, a scapegoat of, often blind and merciless, striving for that ideal.

		Benes was aware that the right thing to do, in the interests of the nation's honor and for the sake of preserving its moral integrity, would be to resist the dictate.
		It was Benes who _- against opposition on the part of Czech nationalists as well as of German supporters of Henlein's party in the Sudetenland _- opened our country in the second half of the thirties to thousands of freedom-loving Germans and Austrians who found in Czechoslovakia perhaps the friendliest European haven.
		Benes' behavior in the tragic days of Munich, as well as in the post-war era, will probably remain a perennial subject of discussions.

		Benes had two main themes: he defended his decision to accept the Dictate of Munich and to give up the borderlands in Bohemia and Moravia without a fight.
		Benes, it seemed to me, felt guilty for having surrendered, and till the end of his life he tried to explain his decision to himself and to the Czech people.
		His explanation was that we could not have defended ourselves in case of war, that we could not have resisted the German army for more than three weeks, and that it would not only have devastated the country, but the Germans would have totally annihilated the Czech people.

		Kisebb vita után a cseh képviselõház kedden a jövõ év elejére halasztotta az Edvard Benes (1884-1948) volt csehszlovák köztársasági elnök érdemeit méltató törvényrõl való döntõ szavazást.
		Benes érdemeinek elismerését a szociáldemokrata és a kommunista képviselõk egy csoportja javasolta, s jelentõs támogatást élvez a polgári demokraták részérõl is.
		Júliusban neves cseh történészek egy csoportja közös nyilatkozatot tett közzé, amelyben ellenezte, hogy a parlament törvényben méltassa Edvard Benes volt köztársasági elnöknek a csehszlovák állam építésében szerzett érdemeit, mert ezzel szerintük a múlt, a történelem olyan fajta értelmezése is "igazolttá" válna, márpedig ez elfogadhatatlan.

		A vitában Benes érdemeit senki sem kérdõjelezte meg, de többen azt a véleményt hangoztatták, hogy ezt felesleges törvényben kimondani.
		Bár Edvard Benesnek a csehszlovák állammal kapcsolatos érdemeit a mai Csehországban általában elismerik, személyiségét, politikáját sokan vitatják.
		Csehszlovák államfõként Benes írta alá azokat a törvényeket, amelyek alapján az országban élõ szudétanémeteket és magyarokat kollektív háborús bûnösnek nyilvánították, megfosztották jogaiktól és vagyonuktól.

	H-Net Review: Gabor Batonyi on Edvard Benes und die tschechoslowakische Außenpolitik ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In a recent biography Edvard Benes has been described as a "lonely and tragic figure" with an inflated ego at odds with an unimposing personality.[1] His character traits, observed to include vanity, self-righteousness, deep-seated mistrust of others, and "thrift amounting to meanness,"[2] may be distasteful even to the most sympathetic researcher of Czech history.
		In the words of Richard Crampton, the main accomplishments of Benes have all "turned to dust."[3] Ten years on from the "velvet divorce," the much-celebrated creation of the Czechoslovak state after the First World War, and its reconstitution after the second, appear to be--at best--pyrrhic victories.
		Although Benes might aptly be described as one of Istvan Bibo's so-called "false realists,"[4] the Czech president remains a highly enigmatic character.
