from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Czechoslovak National Committee ( Národní výbor československý , NVČ) was an organ of Czechoslovak politics that emerged towards the end of the First World War .

Národní výbor československý

In July 1918, the Czechoslovak National Committee was established as the highest body of internal resistance. It was an expression of the conviction that negotiations with the Austrian government are no longer a prospect. The task of the organization was to prepare for independence from Austria-Hungary and to draw up basic laws. Co-founder and general secretary was Edvard Beneš . The representatives of the committee, later also called Men of October 28 , proclaimed the independent state of Czechoslovakia and the first law in Prague on October 28, 1918 . On the same day, four Slovak representatives were added to the committee.

On November 14, 1918, the Revolutionary National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Republic (Revoluční národní shromáždění Československé republiky) emerged from the committee . This handed the executive over to the first government under Karel Kramář .

From 1920 the National Assembly consisted of the House of Representatives and the Senate as the Parliament of Czechoslovakia.
