AnnotationFor complex description of migration processes in the Czech lands it is necessary to clarify the position of re-
emigration of the Czechs and Slovaks after World War I. Re-emigration of prewar emigrants leaving between
1918-1923 should include only 200 thousand returnees. We emphasize not only the statistical aspect of the
problem, but the lighting information given from multiple contexts that involve sta in both directions of
the processes of re-emigration and emigration. The task will be to clarify the grounds of re-emigration in the
worsening economic conditions of the postwar period. The most crucial motives of the postwar comebacks
are the creation of an independent state of the Czechs and Slovaks, the land reform in Czechoslovakia,
the postwar economic crisis and bad living conditions in the defeated countries. The output of the project
will be non-impacted articles in refereed journals, presentations at international scientic conferences and a
monograph issued by the Masaryk University.
