The Sokol gymnastic association, founded in the 1860s, played an important role in establishment of the independent Czechoslovak state after the First World War. In the interwar period it contributed to the democratic character of the new state and cooperated closely with the president T. G. Masaryk. In the Central European context this is a highly unusual development as the paramilitary sport organisations in general tended to support authoritarian movements and regimes. Sokol also played an important role in representation of the Czechoslovak state through the mass gatherings of its members - Slets - at the biggest stadium in the world.
