The relationship between Tomáš G. Masaryk and Karel Kramář (1860–1937) in the quarter-century before World War I forms a significant chapter in modern Czech history. Almost every issue that affected the nation's political fortunes was on their agenda. From the time of their cooperation in the original Realist movement in 1889 until the outbreak of the war they strove, sometimes as allies, often as rivals, to win equal rights, material improvements, and social justice for the Czechs and other minority nationalities in Habsburg Austria.
