Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk (7 March 1850 – 14
September 1937), was a Czechoslovak politician, statesman, sociologist and
philosopher. Until 1914, he advocated restructuring the Austro-Hungarian Empire
into a federal state. With the help of the Allied Powers, Masaryk gained
independence for a Czechoslovak Republic as World War I ended in 1918. He
co-founded Czechoslovakia together with Milan Rastislav Štefánik and Edvard
Beneš and served as its first president, and so is called by some Czechs the
"President Liberator"
