dc.description.abstractThis study explores the formation, development, and gradual dissolution of the Little Entente – a regional alliance comprising Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and Romania in 1920–1938. The objective is to analyse the reasons for the formation of this bloc, to identify the key factors in its functioning and eventual weakening, and to trace how the member states responded to revisionist threats within the context of changing international order. The study examines both the internal and external factors that shaped the policies of the Little Entente states. Particular emphasis is placed on the security, diplomatic, and economic dimensions of their cooperation, as well as on the growing rifts among members resulting from divergent geopolitical priorities and the influence of the great powers, particularly nazi Germany and fascist Italy. The study concludes that, despite initial efforts at unity and coordinated action, the Little Entente ultimately failed to adapt to changing international conditions, weakening French support, and differences stemming from different political systems and economic levels of its members. These factors led to its de facto demise before the outbreak of World War II.
