Discussion

The main objective of this work is to identify and analyze the emotions and feelings involved during the process of construction and formation of the First Republic of Czechoslovakia, based on the news brought by the American newspaper Washington Post. Preliminarily, from the analysis of the set of sources that go from 1920 to 1928, it is possible to identify two types of Emotion that are present both in the Czech speeches that end up being criticized in the newspaper, and reflected in the American press itself, namely: Happiness at the emergence of the nation and love for its founder – observable since the beginning of the Great War and mainly among the Czechs and Slovaks; and Anxiety and Fear – which appear mainly in the context of the turbulent years of the 1920s.
