Agrarian Party of Czechoslovakia
- Agrarian Party of Czechoslovakia
The Agrarian Party of Czechoslovakia is a former political party, seen as representing big business and agriculture.
In the period up to 1932 it was the biggest political party in the country. Led by Milan Hodza, the party influenced Czechoslovak politics between World War I and World War II. In the 19th century the party took what some have seen as a conservative line, favouring social discipline and hierarchy. In 1925 it introduced an agrarian tariff which was seen as protecting the producers interest, motivated by the country's agrarian crisis. It is argued that it helped the Hungarians more than it did the Slovaks. Prime Minister Udrzal was a member of the party, but he lost its support, which meant that he failed to hold his coalition together. Internal struggles within the party grew and the coalition government failed in July 1932.
