520 $aThe Czech Legion was not just a single military unit, but a volunteer army that fielded up to 100,000 troops on the Allied side on all three main fronts in World War I. Since only the defeat of Austro-Hungary and Germany offered any hope of Czech national independence, they were amongst the most motivated and steadfast of the Allied forces in France, the Italian Alps, and Russia. In 1918, following the collapse of the Tsar's army, they attempted to rebuild an Allied front on the Volga and in the Urals. They fought along a 6,000-mile rail corridor across Siberia to the Pacific in the aftermath of the Bolshevik Revolution. The Legion played a central role in the foundation of the Czechoslovakian nation. Today, the Legion is recognized as the founding fathers of Czech nationhood and are idolized by the US Czech community as a result.
