On the map of Austria and the Czech Republic The country of the Sudetes is marked in yellow

Sudetenland (Sudetenland, Sudetenland, Sudetská země or Sudeten) is a historical region in the western part of the Austrian Silesian (Sudeten Silesian), Northern Moravia and the Eastern Bohemia (Hřebečsko and Kralický Lice), which existed shortly after the First World War in areas inhabited by the German minority.

On October 28, 1918, an independent Czechoslovak Republic was proclaimed in Prague. On November 11, the Austrian Emperor Karol I Habsburg refused to participate in the government, and the following day in Vienna was proclaimed the Republic of Germany, which included the former German-occupied territories of Austria-Hungary. One of the provinces was to be the Sudetenland (province of Sudetenland), with the capital of Opava (German: Troppau). The Germans feared losing the privileged position they enjoyed in the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy and did not want to belong to the emerging Czechoslovak state. "The governor" (German Landeshauptmann, zemský hejtman) was Austrian politician Robert Freissler on 30 October. In the coat of arms of the Sudeten Country there were heads of Czech lion, Moravian eagle and Silesian eagle.

In November 1918, Czechoslovak troops began to enter the rebellious province. In November they took Hřebečsko (Schönhengstgau) and Lanškroun, 14th November Moravská Třebová, 1 December Bílovec, 13th Fulnek, 15th December Šumperk, 16th December Uničov and 18th December occupied Šternberk and Opava.

Robert Freissler was in negotiations in 1919 before signing the peace treaty.

The Sudeten country formally ceased to exist on September 10, 1919, after the conclusion of the Treaty of Versailles and the treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, which confirmed the Sudeten country's membership in Czechoslovakia. View Bibliography

Curriculum vitae In the Dominican history, when the dictatorial president Rafael Leónidas Trujillo was in power, Roman was his niece's husband and "third person in the state" (Trujillo and SIM Arturo Espaillata). He was the Minister of Armed Forces, a close associate of Trujillo, which did not prevent him from accepting Trujillo's murder in 1961 from the American consul in the Dominican Republic, Henry Dearborn. He led to the murder of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, but he could not use this to overthrow his followers. He failed to arrest them along with Trujillo's sons such as Ramfis. Ultimately, the conspiracy ended with the conspirators' defeat when Zacarias - chauffeur Trujillo - survived the presidential bombardment and handed over the drafts of the bombers and Arturo Espaillat informed Roman about the death of the commander - at the sight of Arturo Espaillata Roman revealed ...

Myrmex Indikos

Myrmex Indikos, pol. Indian ant - an alleged species of gigantic ants (according to Herodot's description, larger than foxes, but smaller than dogs). The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous. This story is confirmed by the next accounts: Nearchos, one of the army officers of Alexander Macedoński, and Megastenes - a historian and traveler.

The information contained herein was related to the characteristics of the place (eg appearance), important road directions (geographic orientation) or values, functions and economic meanings called places / objects in the settlement for the inhabitants' lives.
