History

The party was established in 1918 by a merger of the Free-minded National Party ("Young Czechs") and several smaller parties such as the State's Rights Progressives, Moravian Progressive Party, and the Moravian-Silesian People's Party. It was initially known as the Czech Constitutional Democratic Party.[3] It formed the first provisional government led by Karel Kramář, and the following year it was renamed the National Democracy.[3]

In 1935 the party merged with the National League and the National Front to form the National Unification.[3]

gollark: It doesn't. It reads nbyte bytes and says how much it did. This is common.
