## Bio

Born in Moravia in 1850 when it still belonged to the Austrian Empire, Masaryk earned a doctorate in Vienna and settled into teaching philosophy at Prague's Charles-Ferdinand University. He entered politics as a deputy in the Austrian Reichsrat, initially pushing to reform Austria-Hungary into a federation. By 1914 he'd abandoned reform for separation: he fled into exile and spent the war organizing the Czechoslovak Legion and making the case for independence in every capital that would hear him. In 1918 he and his protégés Edvard Beneš and Milan Rastislav Štefánik secured Woodrow Wilson's backing through the Washington Declaration. When Austria-Hungary collapsed that autumn, the Allies recognized the new republic and Masaryk as its provisional leader. Elected president in November, he was returned three more times and presided over a stable, democratic interwar state. He stepped down in 1935 at eighty-five, retired to Lány, and died two years later.
