[edit] Czechoslovakia?

I've removed Czechoslovakia from the list for following reasons:

  • Czechoslovakia won independence from Austria-hungary, not Russia.
  • I've never seen this term in connection with Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia had no border with Russia (only with Ukraine) and wasn't directly threatened by World Revolution.
  • Czechoslovakia was created as a buffer state, but Germany was the main threat.
  • Main allies of Czechoslovakia in 20s was (in central and eastern europe) Romania and Serbia (which is missing in this list).
