Abstract
The paper focuses on the demands and the policy of the expelled Sudeten Germans concerning Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. Sudeten German revanchism, as represented by the Sudeten German Homeland Association (Sudetendeutsche Landsmannschaft), threatened the Czechoslovak and Czech statehood for several decades.
Its programme aimed to revise the results of the Second World War. If it were implemented, it would most likely lead to the destruction of the Czechoslovak and Czech statehood.
Fortunately, the passage time, generational changes, and the dawn of European integration have defused the tensions and made past conflicts a matter of history. Let us hope this state of affairs continues into the future.
