At first glance, the Israeli right might be regarded as a sort of monolith. Characterized by intransigence vis-à-vis the great powers (initially the British) and the Arabsalike and with iconic strongmen at the helm, both the post-independence Herut party and its interwar predecessor(s) clearly demonstrated to the outside world what Zionist maximalism stood for, particularly in terms of its political and terriotiral demands. on a closer look, however, many of the sought after parallels between the interwar Zionist right and the post-independence Israeli right are more imagined than real. in fact, not only were the particular groupings made up of different sets of players (often in opposition to each other), but their very worldviews differed, sometimes fundamentally. After all, the paramilitary groups from which the Israeli right developed had self-distanced themselves from any sort of reliance on political means or international guarantees, rejecting the very notions which had stood at the core of interwar Revisionism, the alleged forefather of the Israeli right., Jan Zouplna., and Obsahuje bibliografii

The article deals withthe visit of the last Korean crown prince, Yi Ŭn (Gin Ri), and his Japanese spouse, Masako Ri (Yi Pangja), to Prague in December 1927. It is based on the so-far unknown sources of the Office of the President of the Republic (1927), Czech newspapers (October-December 1927), Korean internet sources and relevant works on Korean history. Their visit to Czechoslovakia was part of their extended visit to several European countries. In spite of its private character and the non-pursuit of diplomatic aims, the couple experienced a high level welcome. They were granted an audience with the Presiden of the Czechoslovak republic, T. G. Masaryk, during which they met the leading representatives of the Czechoslovak government and army (the minister of foreign affairs, E. Beneš, the promienent commanders of the Czechoslovak Legions in Siberia and Vladivostok in 1920). As part of the reception, Yi Ŭn was bestowed with the Order of the White Lion, the highest Czechoslovak award. The article provides a breif overview of Korean history from 1876 onwards and expalins the methods used by the Japanese to make the last Korean prince - the possible Korean emperor - their army officer., Zdenka Klöslová., and Obsahuje bibliografii
The creation of the Portuguese overseas empire began after 1415 in the Atlantic area and gradually transformed itself into a multi-continental phenomenon. Around 1500, there was a period of particular expansion into Asia and Morocco, with a further consolidation of their position in Africa and Brazi. Although the king had tried to isolate the state from contemporary European events and had been engaged exclusively in activities on the world stage, the rather small and sparsely populated country began to run out of steam. The result was the enforced renunciation of her interests in North Africa (1542-1550), which had previously attracted more of the Crown's interest that the Orient. However, thereafter, the privileged position of the East in the Portuguese empire was never questioned, at least not at the ideological level., Karel Staněk., and Obsahuje bibliografii
