You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Czechoslovak Army''' ([[Czech language|Czech]] and [[Slovak language|Slovak]]: ''Československá armáda'') was the name of the armed forces of [[Czechoslovakia]]. It was established in 1918 following Czechoslovakia's declaration of independence from [[Austria-Hungary]].

==History==
In the first months of the [[World War I]], the response of the Czech soldiers and civilians to the war and mobilisation efforts of Austria-Hungary were highly enthusiastic as it was expected to be a short war, however it turned into apathy later.<ref>((cite book|author=John Richard Schindler|title=A Hopeless Struggle: The Austro-Hungarian Army and Total War, 1914–1918|publisher=[[McMaster University]]|year=1995|page=50|isbn=9780612058668|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=h4jyAAAAMAAJ))</ref> 
In the first week after the declaration of independence the Army of the new Czechoslovak state consisted mainly of Czech and Slovak units of [[Austro-Hungarian Army]] while it also incorporated members of the [[Czechoslovak Legion]] from Italy and France.<ref>((cite book |last=Preclík|first=Vratislav|title=Masaryk a legie|pages=101–201|publisher=Paris Karviná in association with the Masaryk Democratic Movement, Prague|year=2019|language=cs|isbn=978-80-87173-47-3))</ref> that fought alongside the [[Allies of World War I|Entente]] during [[World War I]]. Czechoslovak Army took part in the brief [[Polish-Czechoslovak War]] in which Czechoslovakia annexed the [[Trans-Olza]] region from Poland. And also fought border war with [[Hungary]] for control and borders of Slovakia. The Army was modeled after the Austro-Hungarian Army with influence of the [[French Military Mission to Czechoslovakia]]. Officers were both former Austro-Hungarian and Legion officers that decided to stay in the active service. First chief of the Main Staff was French General [[Maurice Pellé]].

In the [[Interwar period|interbellum]] the force was fairly modern by contemporary standards, with the core of the force formed by 4 fast divisions equipped in the late 1930s with [[LT vz. 35]] tanks, as well as an extensive [[Czechoslovak border fortifications|system of border fortifications]]. Partly [[Mobilization|Mobilised]] after [[Anschluss]] and fully during the [[Munich Agreement|Munich Conference]], the force did not take part in any organised defence of the country against invading Germans due to international isolation of Czechoslovakia and was demobilized gradually until February 1939.<ref>((cite web |last=Šrámek |first=Pavel |title=Československá armáda na podzim 1938 |url=https://armada.vojenstvi.cz/predvalecna/mobilizace/ceskoslovenska-armada-na-podzim-1938.htm |website=armada.vojenstvi.cz|date=23 February 2009 |access-date=8 February 2023))</ref>

The army was disbanded following the [[German occupation of Czechoslovakia|German takeover of Czechoslovakia in 1939]]. During [[World War II]] the Czechoslovak Army was recreated in exile, first in the form of the new [[Czechoslovak Legion (1939)|Czechoslovak Legion]] fighting alongside of Poland during the [[Invasion of Poland]] and then in the form of forces loyal to the London-based [[Czechoslovak government-in-exile]]. Czechoslovak formations were also formed on the Eastern Front; the [[1st Czechoslovak Army Corps in the Soviet Union]] served alongside the Red Army and the [[First Czechoslovak Army in Slovakia]] claimed the legacy of the Czechoslovak forces during the [[Slovak National Uprising]].

After the war Czechoslovak units fighting alongside the Allies returned to Czechoslovakia and formed the core of the new, recreated Czechoslovak Army. However, with the [[1948 Czechoslovak coup d'état|Communist takeover of Czechoslovakia]], it was being increasingly Sovietised<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.radio.cz/en/section/czechs/the-czechoslovak-legions-myth-reality-gold-and-glory|first=Chris|last=Johnstone|title=The Czechoslovak legions: myth, reality, gold and glory|publisher=[[Czech Radio]]|date=18 August 2010|access-date=29 June 2018))</ref> and in 1954 was formally renamed to [[Czechoslovak People's Army]]. The army of Czechoslovakia returned to the former name in 1990, following the [[Velvet Revolution]], but in 1993, following the [[Dissolution of Czechoslovakia]], it was disbanded and split into modern [[Army of the Czech Republic]] and the [[Slovak Armed Forces]].
