The first government of Jan Syrový, which in Czech sources is (only very) occasionally called "Vláda obrany republiky" (Government of the Defense of the Republic), arose in a crisis situation that was explosive for Czechoslovakia, which ultimately led to the temporary dissolution of the sovereign state. The affairs of state were entrusted to a general who until then was considered a kind of national hero.
