He was president of a country which attracts relatively little attention, however, in this article Masaryk's teachings and his example have been recalled as they have something of importance for the future.
Masaryk was born of a peasant family and was obliged from the very start to make his own way in surroundings much less favorable than he would have encountered in the United States of that day.
The first step towards the presidency consisted in learning to understand the problems faced by his nation inside the "Dual Monarchy." The second was to educate the Czechs through his work as a teacher, writer, and journalist.

Masaryk hardly mentioned either his father, Josef Masarik, or his brothers Martin and Ludwig, always emphasizing his mother, to whom he felt he was indebted for everything, even though, she was German and he was a "Czech".
Masaryk and his representatives concluded several agreements concerning the neutrality of the Czechoslovak army in Russian domestic conflicts, and its later transfer to France, where reinforcements were sorely needed against the German onslaught.
Masaryk used the opportunity to reemphasize his concept of the independence of small nations as a necessary and useful principle of international order, which he did not actually plan to implement in Czechoslovakia, though in America he did not admit to this.
