Czechoslovak Legion

The Czechoslovak Legion was a volunteer force of Czechs and some Slováci formed by the Triple Entente powers in 1914 to fight against the Central Powers during První světová válka. Legie se skládala z nationalists who seeking to achieve Bohemia and Moravia's independence from Austria-Hungary, a síla se rozrostla na desetitisíce vojáků; většina byli Češi a 8% byli Slováci. The legion fought in the Russian Civil War against the Bolsheviks after fighting on the Western Front with France and the United Kingdom, and the legion controlled much of the Trans-Siberian Railway and Siberia at times. In 1920, the 67,739 remaining legion troops were evacuated from Vladivostok at the end of the civil war, return to an independent Czechoslovakia.
