The Military Action of the Czechoslovak National Council  in France During World War I

The article is devoted to the process of creation of the Czecho-Slovak military units on the territory of France during World War I. It should be stressed that in Czech and Slovak as well as in French historical science a layer of scientific works devoted to this subject had been formed. Aspects connected with the formation of the autonomous Czecho-Slovak army are also touched upon by Russian historians. However, in most of these works the problem of using by the Paris foreign resistance center and the French war office of the experience which was accumulated by the Russian military authority during the process of formation of the Czecho-Slovak troops. The study showed that the work of the Czecho-Slovak national council, the Ministry of War of the French Republic and the high command of the French army, aimed at creating the first Czecho-Slovak units in the country, in a number of aspects was carried out according to the same principles as the activities made in this direction by the Russian military authorities and the Czech and Slovak organizations in Russia.
