First US - Czech joint-stamp issue ?
In 2004 we will celebrate the 100th anniversary
of death of famous Czech composer Antonin Dvorak. We will agree for sure, that
this anniversary requests a issue of commemorative stamp.
Because A. Dvorak has close relation to the USA
(he worked in New York composing there his work "From the New
World"), it is a goal of group of Czechoslovak stamps collectors from both
USA and Czech Republic to help to born first US - Czech joint-stamp issue in
2004 .
Czechoslovakia issued his first joint-stamp issue
in 1937 (together with Yugoslavia and Romania) symbolizing the preparedness of
all three states to face the Nazi´s threat. This tradition has been renewed by
Czech Postal Administration, which issued since 1993 many joint-stamp issues
e.g. with Slovakia, Germany, Israel, Croatia, Sweden etc. .
This would be fantastic chance to issue first
Czech - US stamp issue honoring Antonin Dvorak. Unfortunately will be not,
because Czech as well as American Postal Administrations informed us, that
bacause of lack of time they are not able to prepare issuance of the
joint-stamp issue.
I would like to express my thanks to all
supporters of our trying, especially to Antonin Dvorak Museum of Prague,
Mr. Hercik Jun., International Philatelic Society
of Joint Stamp Issues Collectors and webmasters of www.japhila.cz and www.infofila.cz .
Thank you for your help !
Don´t hestitate to contact us with your questions
or comments (lubor.kunc@seznam.cz)
P.S. : However the above point-stamp issue has not
been put through, both Czech Republic and USA celebrated Dvorak´s anniversary
by issuing philatelic material: Czech Republic issued a commemorative stamp in
May 2004 and Czech countrymen from the USA prepared a special cancel to this occasion :

but the war also destroyed monarchies in Central Europe and enabled establishing
of new states representing in majority Slavic population of former

Czechoslovakia were founded.
This chapter tries to search for origins of WWI,
describes field post services as well as looks for its results and its impact

literature to the theme .

WWII Chapter
The World War II (WWII) was in first line a war between
different ideologies and political systems:
democratic (Liberal ideology) and totalitarian (National
Socialistic and Communist ideologies).
Its origins were situated in the WWI, but the economic and
political situation in the 30s made it different.
Its result was not only beating of group of states, but also
division of world between Liberal and Communist countries and Cold War lasting
from 40s to 80s.
The positive result of the WWII were attempts to create
international system based on common values incorporated into United Nations,
economic organizations like International Monetary Found or trying to create
common European territory resulting with European Union.
