Hello AH.com members,
I’m seeking collaboration to establish the list of presidents for independent Czech Republic after WW2.

I’ll give limited details on the universe of the story but here are some elements.

President of the Czech provisional government:
Edvard Beneš 1945 -1948

Establishment of Second Republic with a political system similar to what Czech Republic use now OTL.
The president is elected for 5 years terms, renewable only once.

At the very beginning of the cold war, Czech Republic plays a quite neutral game and seeks appeasement with USSR. The country joins NATO, but not the integrated command. It also no allows stationing of foreign troops on its soil.

Political parties are quite the same as OTL, but the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM) us the Czech Communist Party (KSC) and its quite a strong party.
The Czech Social Democratic Party will probably be a major party.
Republican Party of Farmers and Peasants (RPFP) still exists ITTL.

Many parties from before WW2 are back in the game (except pro German), but the can merge to form larger parties. So major event like party merging can off course be added to the “TL” until it’s realist/plausible. The first time a party is displayed in the list, please indicate its full name, after you can use initials if you want. In this TL, the country is peaceful and stable.


President: Edvard Beneš 1945-1948 (Independent) Prime Minister: Zdeněk Fierlinger 1945-1946 (Independent) then Klement Gottwald 1946-1948 (KSC)

President: Jan Masaryk 1948-1953 (Independent) Prime Minister: Rudolf Beran (RPFP)
