Province of German South Moravia

The Province of German South Moravia (German: Provinz Deutschsüdmähren; Czech: Provincie Německá jižní Morava) was an unrecognised province in Moravia (in the present-day Czech Republic), self-proclaimed on 3 November 1918 by a group of German-speaking local officials who sought attachment to the unrecognised Republic of German-Austria. They did so in reaction to the 18 October 1918 declaration of independence of the First Czechoslovak Republic, a landmark event in the dissolution of Austria-Hungary at the end of the First World War.
