Remarks
- ↑ The last government of pre-war Czechoslovakia , the government of Rudolf Beran I (December 1, 1938 - March 15, 1939) continued its official business after the occupation of the country by the Wehrmacht as the first government of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia , the Rudolf Beran government II (March 16, 1939 - April 27, 1939), continued; in official sources, including the documents of the government of the Czech Republic, the governments are treated as two separate governments ( cf.vlada.cz/...(= Beran I) and vlada.cz/...(= Beran II ) ), although other sources simply write about the "Rudolf Beran government". The official two-government version is adopted here.
