Chvalkovský, František
JUDr. František Chvalkovský
* July 30, 1885, Jílové u Prahy
+ February 25, 1945, Berlin
- Czechoslovak diplomat and politician
After graduating from the Prague Gymnasium in 1903, he studied at the Faculty of Law of Charles University, graduating five years later. He then studied for two years (1912-1914) at the Pittmanns Commercial-School in London, later becoming director of the legal department of the Živnostenska Bank branch in Kraków (1911-1913).
During World War I he is an independent lawyer (January 1, 1918 - June 1919) in Prague, and after the establishment of Czechoslovakia he becomes personal secretary to the then Minister of the Interior Antonín Švehla and parliamentary clerk of the Revolutionary National Assembly.
Chvalkovský joined the foreign service as early as 1920, when, as head of the political department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he became a member of the Czechoslovak delegation at Trianon, where the peace treaty with Hungary was being negotiated. He was then ambassador to Japan (1921-1923) and the USA (1923-1925). On 15.11.1925 he is elected to the National Assembly for the Agrarian Party and returns to diplomacy only in 1927, when he is appointed envoy to Germany, in which capacity he serves until 1932. On 1 July 1932 he is transferred to Rome, where he is ambassador until 1938.
Chvalkovský is well equipped for diplomatic service, including linguistically - he knows 9 (sic!) living languages at that time.
From 1938 to 1939 he is the Minister of Foreign Affairs and together with Emil Hácha he is forced in Berlin to sign the declaration on the annexation of Bohemia and Moravia to the German Empire on 15 March 1939. Later, he holds the more or less formal post of envoy of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren) to the Reich Government in Berlin, to which post he is appointed on 13 July 1939.
He was killed at the end of the war in an American air raid on a highway near Berlin.
