Czechoslovakia stirs

Czechoslovakia continues to feel the pressure of its over 3 million Germans clamor for union with Germany. The Sudetenland has become a contentious territory in the western portion of the country. Adolf Hitler of Germany has demanded that the Sudetenland be handed over to Germany.

In reponse, Great Britain and France have rejected these demands. Germany has begun to build up its military installations along its shared border with Czechoslovakia. This apparent aggression has alarmed many with the Chezhoslovakian government. They are now mobilizing in an effort for defense should that need arise.
