Talk:Zaolzie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If it is now part of Czechia, why does it use the Polish name?
- Because it has a major Polish population and Czechs don't even know there is something like Zaolzie. - Darwinek 12:55, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
I made minor change about reasons of Czechoslovakia for military operations. This was because "only railway going to Slovakia went throughout this area and access to the railway was critical: newly-formed Czechoslovakia was at war with revolutionary Hungary trying to re-establish control over Slovakia. This set up stage for conflict." (see History of Cieszyn and Těšín (not edited by me) see http://raven.cc.ku.edu/~eceurope/hist557/lect12.htm This part of article was added only for "synchronisation" of articles and for "balancing" of Czech and Polish view. For conclusion - both republics were in war with bolsheviks and both had some reasons for conflict.
- If you wanted to give the arguments of one side of the conflict, you should equally add the arguments of the other side to keep the NPOV. Also it should be clearly explained what the war with Hungary had to do with it ? --Wojsyl (talk) 15:34, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- Czechoslovakian war with Red Hungary is in same context as mentioned Polish war with Red Russia, and for understanding of reasons of Czechoslovakian actions. See above: " only railway going to Slovakia went throughout this area and access to the railway was critical: newly-formed Czechoslovakia was at war with revolutionary Hungary trying to re-establish control over Slovakia." I think, that this is understanding for necessarity and thus is impossible to build new railway. One think (but this is only my personal oponion), that if Red Hungary anexed Slovakia, then Poland was in big problems with bolsheviks froum south, east and nordeast, but because Czechoslovakian army liberated Slovakia, Poland was secure from south.
