Few of those in the audience for Masaryk’s 1915 lecture would have imagined that they were listening to a call for the dissolution not only of the empires against which Britain was fighting but also of the empires with which Britain was allied and perhaps of the British empire itself. The Czech professor was, as we have seen, very careful not to suggest any such implications at the time. But big ideas have unruly lives of their own. The notion that ‘small’ nations have a right to self-determination would reverberate in locations far from King’s College London through the next century.
