The following conribution describes the key year defined the proclamation of the independent Czechoslovak state on 28 October 1918 and March 1919. On this latter date a wave of strikes and demonstrations took place in the border regions. This date, forgotten in Czech history, is a lieu de mémoire (site of memory) the Sudeten-German collective identity, still commemorated, in a lesser form, even today. The paper aims to look only those phenomena; that directly or indirectly led to the violent outcome which occurred between the population of the German border region and the Czechoslovak armed forces. It should be perceived as an essay focused on the opportunities and attitudes of its main figures, perhabs as an introduction in the problem, rather than as an exhaustive description of the economic, political, social and other processes of the described period.
