jul 4, 1940 - Edvard Beneŝ

Description:

Under the rule of Winston Churchill, the British government granted Edvard Beneŝ, a Czech politician, National Committee the status of a Provisional government in exile. The Czech State was to receive British financial aid until the end of the war. The Soviet Union and Britain granted Beneŝ full recognition of his government while he was in exile. After being recognized, Beneŝ devoted his efforts to cancelling the Munich agreement. This would be considered a political event since Beneŝ's National Committee had a change in its government, and was offered military support from both Britain and the Soviet Union.
