Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk (Czech: ['toma?? 'gar?k 'masar?k]), sometimes anglicised Thomas Masaryk (7 March 1850 – 14 September 1937), was a Czechoslovak politician, statesman, sociologist and philosopher. Until 1914, he advocated restructuring the Austro-Hungarian Empire into a federal state.
With the help of the Allied Powers, Masaryk gained independence for a Czechoslovak Republic as World War I ended in 1918.
He founded Czechoslovakia and served as its first president, and so is called by some Czechs the "President Liberator" (Czech: Prezident Osvoboditel).
