The Czechoslovak National Democracy ({{Langx|cs|Československá národní demokracie}}), called also Czechoslovak National Democratic Party ({{Langx|cs|Československá strana národně demokratická}}), was a First Republic right-wing political party in Czechoslovakia.
History
The party was established in 1918 by a merger of the Free-minded National Party ("Young Czechs") and several smaller parties such as the State's Rights Progressives, Moravian Progressive Party, and the Moravian-Silesian People's Party. It was initially known as the Czech Constitutional Democratic Party.Vincent E McHale (1983) Political parties of Europe, Greenwood Press, p145 {{ISBN|0-313-23804-9}} It formed the first provisional government led by Karel Kramář, and the following year it was renamed the National Democracy.
In 1935 the party merged with the National League and the National Front to form the National Unification.
