Beneš became first foreign minister of Czechoslovakia, and in 1935 he succeeded Tomas Masaryk to become President.
The Benes decrees[?], which expropriated the property of ethnic German and Hungarian Czechoslovakians, and thus laid essential terms for their expulsion to Germany and to Hungary, were named for him.
