The Czechoslovak Republic was proclaimed in Prague on October 28, 1918. Slovaks signed up to it two days later, on October 30, 1918, at the founding meeting of the newly formed Slovak National Council in Martin. Representatives of the foreign and domestic resistance in the Czech countries and Slovakia contributed to the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic with their activities during the First World War. Credit goes mainly to Tomáš Garrigu Masaryk, who became its first president, and his two main collaborators, Milan Rastislav Štefánik and Edvard Beneš. The establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic is one of the most significant landmarks in the historical development of Slovakia. After decades of restrictions in Hungary, Slovaks gained space for full-fledged and versatile national development, which enabled them to definitively shape themselves into a modern European nation.
