3. Naval ships under the Czechoslovak flag sailed
shortly after the establishment of
Czechoslovakia. The first such ship was the
schooner Kehrwieder in 1920. The Treaty of
Versailles and the ensuing Barcelona
Declaration made it possible to use national
flags on naval vessels and countries without
their own seaside. During the First Republic
Czechoslovak naval ships belonged to various
companies. During this pre-war period, 80
future officers graduated from the Naval
Academy in Yugoslavia, so after World War II,

6. The battle on Lake Baikal was the only battle fought by the
warships of the Czechoslovak fleet.
In August 1918, Czechoslovak legionnaires under the
command of Colonel Gajda fought for mountain gorges
around Lake Baikal. They were very well protected.
Czechoslovak legionaries in the occupation of the Baikal
ports obtained the steamboats Sibirjak, Buryat and Fedosia.
They armed and used for landing.
15th August Czechoslovak fleet sailed. At that moment the
fog subsided and the legionnaires could attack. The Red
Army thought it was a ship carrying their supplies, which
allowed the Czechoslovaks to approach the port. The Baikal
icebreaker in the port was about to open fire, but the
Czechoslovaks were faster. They opened fire and Baikal was
sunk by an accurate blow from the Sibirjak steamboat.
After half an hour of shelling arrived armored train, from
which was removed cannons, which opened fire on
Czechoslovak ships. Having accomplished the main task, the
legionaries sailed.

8. Beginings of Škoda
As with many long-established car manufacturers, the
company which would become Škoda Auto started in the
early 1890s by manufacturing bicycles. Škoda (then
Laurin & Klement) factories were founded in 1896 as
a velocipede manufacturer.
Their new Slavia motorcycle made its debut in 1899 and
the company became the first motorcycle factory in Central
Europe. In 1900, with a company workforce of 32, Slavia
exports began and 150 machines were shipped to London
for the Hewtson firm. Shortly afterwards, the press credited
them as makers of the first motorcycle.
9. First Škoda car
By 1905, the firm was manufacturing automobiles, making it the second-oldest car
manufacturer in the Czech lands after Tatra. The company, with an area of 7,800
square metres (0.78 ha), had a workforce of 320 and used 170 special machine-tools,
power-driven by 100 horsepower (75 kW) of steam power.

10. Volkswagen Group subsidiary
The fall of communism with the Velvet Revolution brought great changes to
Czechoslovakia and most industries were subject to privatization. In the case of Škoda
Automobile, the state authorities brought in a strong foreign partner. Volkswagen was
chosen by the Czech government on 9 December 1990, and, as a result, on 28 March
1991 a joint-venture partnership agreement with Volkswagen took place, marked by the
transfer of a 30% share to the Volkswagen Group on 16 April 1991. Until 1990, Škoda was
still making its outdated range of rear engine small family cars, although it had started
production of the Favorit front-wheel drive hatchback in 1987 as an eventual replacement.
Škoda Felicia from 1994 was first new model after takeover by
Volkswagen Group.
