This study deals with the development of German political liberalism in Moravia from the end of the 1880s until World War I. It throws light on the manifesto and organizational changes connected to the transformation of the previously nationwide Deutschmaehrische Partei in the Deutsche Fortschrittspartei. It devotes much attention to the standing of German Liberals within the system of German political parties in Moravia and to the role of the most influential party personalities (A. Weeber, A. Promber, H. d'Elvert, R. M. Rohrer).
This paper aims to draw attention to interesting archival research conducted in 2012–2014 by employees of the Institute of History of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The outcome of their research was the publication of a large volume containing surviving correspondence between Czech philosopher and politician Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk and the South Slavs, collected from Czech and foreign archives. The volume contains Masaryk’s letters exchanged with the South Slavs (i.e., members of the nations of the former Yugoslavia and the Bulgarians) from the 1880s to his death in 1937. A sample of the surviving correspondence presented in this paper is a collection of letters from the Serbian – and later, Yugoslav – officer and politician Milan Pribićević to T. G. Masaryk written between 1909 and 1934.
