ABSTRACT
Czechoslovakia’s boundaries were thus not completely established until 1923, but her activity in European postwar political life had been increasing in extent and effectiveness under the able guidance of Benes from the earliest days of independence. The attitude of Czechoslovakia toward the League of Nations was consistently one of loyal support. Germany made several suggestions in February 1925 for a western peace pact and treaties of arbitration with her neighbors, and Czechoslovakia indicated her general will ingness to accept the conditions as outlined by France and Great Britain. An important domestic by-product of the conclusion of the Locarno treaties was the early decision of two leading Sudeten German parties, the Agrarians and the German Clericals, to give up their negative attitude and become active participants in the Czechoslovak government. The Czechs realized the paramount importance of their state in any shift of political forces in Europe.
