Munich agreement arrives in Prague after 70 years

A first-generation copy of the original Munich agreement has arrived in the Czech Republic for the first time. The agreement, signed in 1938 ceded parts of Czechoslovakia to Germany on condition that Germany stops its expansionism. The agreement was later derided as a form of appeasement of Hitler’s Germany. The copy of the original document represents the first time that the original text has been visible to Czechs. The four page document will be permanently displayed in the Kolovrat Place in the grounds of the Czech senate.
