Abstract

After the breakup of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the forces of nationalism caused its subject reorle to seek to form nations to their own. The Carpatho-Russian people, however, were considered too small a group to form their own nation. Therefore, the best course for them seemed to be to seek national autonomy within a larger country. Through the efforts of the Carpatho-Russian immigrants to America and of the National Councils in Sub-Carpathian Russia, the Carpatho-Russian territory was joined to the Czechoslovak Republic, with promises of autonomy by the Czechoslovak government. From the first, the Czechs continually broke their promises and interfered in the internal affairs of Sub-Carpathian Russia. Popular discontent led to the formation of autonomist parties and of other parties opposing the Czech central government. Only after the Czechoslovak Republic began falling apart after the Munich Crisis was political power handed over to the people of Sub-Carpathian Russia.
