    Default Togo - interwar Czech dreams about African colony

    The story sounds like some chapter from the life of fictional Czech character Jára Cimrman, but in early 1920s, part of Czech society actually belived that Czechoslovakia will receive a colony at Africa.

    After WW1, as a results of Versailles agreement, Germany lost their colonies, includes Togoland (Togo) at Africa. Part of Czech enthusianists (or dreamers?), mainly Jan Havlasa pushed to Czechoslovak government to ask for Togo. Official documents of Paris conference did not mention any Czechoslovak claim for the colony, but in Czech newspapers was in the postwar times published a lot of speculations about it.

    I see. And this is why I saw Togo look alike people when wandered across Karlův most (The Charles Bridge) in Prague?

    Czechoslovakia (and now Czech Republic) has rented area at Hamburg harbor (see Moldahaufen) until 2028.
    Czechoslovakia (despite it was a landlocked country) ahad a fleet also in postwar times.
    Anyway, to manage colonies overseas will not be profitable for Czechoslovakia, (nor for the colonies)
