Czechoslovak diplomacy refers to the foreign relations and diplomatic efforts of the former nation of Czechoslovakia, which existed from 1918 until its peaceful split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993. Established after World War I, Czechoslovak diplomacy aimed to secure international recognition and support, particularly against threats from neighboring countries. Key figures included Edvard Beneš, who played a significant role in shaping the country's foreign policy. Throughout its history, Czechoslovak diplomacy focused on alliances, notably with France and the Soviet Union, to counteract the rise of Nazi Germany. The country participated in various international organizations and treaties, striving to maintain its sovereignty and promote peace in Central Europe. Despite its efforts, Czechoslovakia faced significant challenges, especially during the Munich Agreement in 1938, which undermined its territorial integrity.
