@dark33r You are really ignorant if You compare 1.500 volunteers - militia, scouts and local citizens to 16 000 of regular full equiped army - Czech legions from France. Poles was later supported by other volunteers because regular Polish army fought with Soviets on the east. Czechoslovakia hit the knife in back of Poland in this time and You was lucky that because We fought alone with 1 000 000 bolsheviks .... and We win. You paid for this in 1938.

@dark33r Polish army was on the east in this time and fought with Soviets. You proved Your courage in 1938 giving Your country to Germans without any single shot. Now You accused Poles for this attack but in 1919 You do exactly the same invading Poland with the Bolsheviks.

[dark33r]

@licicaviki Polish side had 5 battalions (300-1500 men) with support of 4 machine-gun companies (75-200 men), 1 ride squad (30-80 men) and 1 artillery battery. Except this there were 550 policemen in a gun and 6500 polish volunteers. All at the beginning, continuously supporting. Poles arent that brave as they´re presented.

[dark33r]

@licicaviki Settled by Polish, Czechs, Germans, Jews. Besides there was significant number of people who didnt claim themself as any nationality, but Silesians. In last population cenzus in 1910 more then half of people proclaim their language as a "polish". But in this group were also Silesians, who kept friendly realitions with Germans and were very anti-polish.

[licicaviki]

@dark33r It was historical "Czech land" settled mostly by Poles in 1919. First was agreement about plebiscite in this region and later Czech army started invasion. Poland haven`t any soldiers here because was Polish-Soviet war with bolsheviks. Against 16 000 Czech soldiers fought 1500 volunteers (not soldiers). Only 1000 of Polish soldiers later go to this front because We has bigger problems on the east with Soviets. Czechs are just liers and hipocrites in case of Zaolzie.

[dark33r]

@licicaviki After creation of Czechoslovakia in 1918, that area around "Těšín" was historically recognized as a Czech historical land by the states of the deal. But after breaking up Austria-Hungary, Poland came with soldiers to that area and later put right the elections even for that controversial area. Protests of Czechoslovakian leaders were refused. Thats why Czechoslovakia decided for millitary resolution. There was NOT only 1500 polish soldiers, there were less, but not that much.

[licicaviki]

@dark33r If 16 000 of regular Czech army fight against 1 500 defenders like boyscouts, police and volunteers. If Czech army entry on plebiscite area where mayority are Poles and started to arest local plebiscite activists and all happened durning Polish-Soviet war 1919-1920? How You call this?

[dark33r]

@licicaviki Sure, "sedmidenní válka". And you call it invasion ?? U know why it happened and all circumstances ?

[licicaviki]

@dark33r Maby We talk about Czech invasion on Zaolzie durning Polish-Soviet war in 1919? You remember "Sedmidenní válka" my "slavic brother"?
