Their major areas of contention were: the extent to which the party should cooperate with the conservative landowners, how best to define and advance Bohemian state rights, whether or not to passively resist centralization of the monarchy, and their difference of opinion with the <a href="/wiki/January_Uprising" title="January Uprising">January Uprising</a> in <a href="/wiki/Congress_Poland" title="Congress Poland">Russian Poland</a>. The conflict within the National Party that led most directly to the creation of an independent Young Czech Party was the issue of passive resistance. The Old Czech faction, under the leadership of Palacký and Rieger, sought to act conservatively against the monarchy through working with the great landowners to achieve greater political influence and by refusing to attend the imperial council (<a href="/wiki/Reichsrat_(Austria)" class="mw-redirect" title="Reichsrat (Austria)">Reichsrat</a>) meetings. The Young Czechs, on the other hand, felt that Czech national interests would be best served by participating actively in all forms of government. </p><p>Two events in particular display the effects of the Old Czechs' policy of passive resistance and cooperation with the nobility. The war in 1866 between the monarchy and Prussia displayed how the Old Czechs' policy of loyalty and cooperation backfired. At war the monarchy sought the financial aid of its lands and <a href="/wiki/Hungary" title="Hungary">Hungary</a>, also seeking imperial recognition of its autonomy, refused to provide assistance as long as their demands for self-government were not fulfilled. While the Czechs remained loyal to the monarchy due to fear of further disobedience the monarchy assented to Hungarian demands by creating the December Constitution of 1867 which established the <a href="/wiki/Dual_monarchy" title="Dual monarchy">dual monarchy</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Kavka_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kavka-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 89">: 89 </span></sup> The Ausgleich, Compromise, gave a unified Hungary a large measure of internal autonomy and an equal status with Austria, but kept oversight and ultimate power in the monarch's hands. Rieger reacted by advocating a boycott of participation in the Reichsrat until the Emperor suspended the <a href="/wiki/February_Patent" title="February Patent">February Patent</a>. Further passive action was taken in withdrawing from the Bohemian <a href="/wiki/Diet_(assembly)" title="Diet (assembly)">Diet</a> with the Declaration of 1868 that called for a tripartite monarchy. The Young Czechs reluctantly upheld the party's boycott of the Reichsrat but seven young delegates defied the party's policy by returning to the Bohemian Diet in September, 1874. This defiance, led by <a href="/wiki/Alois_Pravoslav_Trojan" title="Alois Pravoslav Trojan">Alois Pravoslav Trojan</a> and <a href="/wiki/Julius_and_Edvard_Gregr" class="mw-redirect" title="Julius and Edvard Gregr">Edvard Grégr</a>, heralded the decision to form an independent Young Czech party in December of the same year.

Establishing this historic base also provided historical support to the Party's mission and ideology. </p><p>The Young Czechs opposed the Old Czech alliance with the Bohemian nobility on principle due to the nobility's opposition of all democratic and anticlerical measures supported by the Party. Furthermore, the Party did not feel that the landowning nobility had the interests of ordinary Czech citizens in mind. The Young Czechs sought to advance the political and economic welfare of the peasants. Moving speeches and publications were made to remind the Czechs of the peasant's contribution to the preservation of their maternal language. This coincided with the party's nationalist outlook. The Young Czechs wished to realize Czech autonomy on the basis of historical and natural rights of the people. The Party also wished to institute universal manhood suffrage and civil liberties as part of their state rights program. More avidly anticlerical and anti-authoritarian than the Old Czechs, the Young Czechs sought to rid themselves of the <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Catholic Church</a>’s influence and also supported Polish independence from authoritarian Russia. They advocated active and liberal politics and thus, favored a multiparty system as opposed to the one National Party under Palacký and Rieger. </p><p>The Young Czechs had wide appeal as they held the professional, petit bourgeoisie, and peasant support. In 1888, Rieger, fearful of the Young Czech's radicalism and potential power, sought assistance from the Emperor but this plea was rejected. In 1889, in the Bohemian Diet elections, the Young Czechs made impressive strides in the rural curia by obtaining 37 seats.<sup id="cite_ref-Okey_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Okey-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 273">: 273 </span></sup> In 1890, the Taafe government and the Old Czech party sought a German-Czech compromise. This compromise was never put into effect due to Rieger's blunder in not including the Young Czech Party in the negotiations. The Young Czechs declared the agreement a thinly disguised attempt to increase the political privileges of the Germans.<sup id="cite_ref-Seton_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Seton-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 229">: 229 </span></sup> Rieger was declared a traitor to the Czech cause. The Agreement of 1890 even failed to acquire the unanimous consent of the Old Czech party. The Czech club voted to endorse the agreement only on the provision of Rieger's promise of a forthcoming amendment which would make Czech an internal official language in all Czech areas. Rieger received no government assistance in backing his request which was eventually denied by the Emperor. The government further discredited Rieger and the Old Czech party by bribing Czech newspapers to publish articles supporting the government.<sup id="cite_ref-Garver_4-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Garver-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 157">: 157 </span></sup> As a result, it appeared as if the Old Czech Party, who had been leading the Czech nation, was supporting the Habsburg government in its endeavors to subjugate the people and control the press. This fueled the Young Czechs to garner more support as a great majority of the nation transferred its allegiance to their party. The Young Czechs won a sweeping victory in the Parliamentary elections of 1891. The Old Czech Party's hegemony in Czech politics was officially eliminated and was replaced by the majority Young Czech coalition party. </p><p>Regarding their attitude towards the Bohemian Germans, the Young Czechs opposed to any plans to administrative division of Bohemia and Moravia along languages, i.e. German or Czech. The expression "closed German language area" was a red rag to them, even though out of 77 purely German judicial districts in Bohemia, 55 formed a coherent whole stretching from Reichenberg to Eger. When Justice Minister Count Schönborn set up the Weckelsdorf District Court to align with the language border, the Young Czechs wanted to bring him to trial. When the expression "German Bohemia", the term for the closed German language area, which had been used without objection by Palacký in 1848, was used by the Austrian Justice Minister von Hohenburger in 1911, a scuffle broke out in the Vienna Parliament. <sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Young_Czech_Party&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Both Julius and Eduard were involved in the leadership of the Young Czech Party, which exerted influence in Bohemian politics in the later nineteenth century.

The Christian Socialism Party and the Social Democracy Party are examples of two steadily growing and established mass parties. Czech political parties after the year 1900 were organized both as national parties and as parties with specific constituents or interests. This serves to display the greater democratization and diversification of Czech political parties. The Young Czechs, despite decreasing popularity, committed the Party to positive politics and found opposition to be unproductive. The Party thrived with forming coalitions and negotiations with parties such as the Social Democrats and the Progressives. Thus, the Young Czech Party continued to have a very important role in Czech politics. The Czech National Council, which the Party helped establish in 1900, served as the coordinating body for all Czech parties. The Young Czechs remained the strongest influence in the Council up to 1914.<sup id="cite_ref-Garver_4-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Garver-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 310">: 310 </span></sup> </p><p>The Czech political parties that emerged at the turn of the century were essentially those that formed the political, social, and economic base of the First Czechoslovak Republic, <a href="/wiki/Czechoslovakia" title="Czechoslovakia">Czechoslovakia</a>.
