The country that replaced Austria-Hungary was designed outside it. Czech and Slovak prisoners of war and emigrants formed the Czechoslovak Legions in Russia, France and Italy and fought on the Allied side, which gave the exile leaders Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, Edvard Beneš and the Slovak Milan Rastislav Štefánik something real to bargain with. Slovak America moved first: the Cleveland Agreement of 22 October 1915 proposed a federation with the Czechs, and the Pittsburgh Agreement, dated 30 May 1918, promised Slovakia its own administration, its own diet and courts, and Slovak as the official language. Both were signed by people who had emigrated because there was no living to be made at home, and neither was signed by anybody actually living in Slovakia. The Pittsburgh promises were never carried out, and that would matter enormously twenty years later.Štát, ktorý nahradil Rakúsko-Uhorsko, navrhli mimo neho. Z českých a slovenských zajatcov a vysťahovalcov vznikli v Rusku, vo Francúzsku a v Taliansku československé légie a bojovali na strane Dohody — exiloví politici Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, Edvard Beneš a Slovák Milan Rastislav Štefánik tak mali pri rokovaniach čo položiť na stôl. Slovenská Amerika sa pohla prvá: Clevelandská dohoda z 22. októbra 1915 navrhla federáciu s Čechmi a Pittsburská dohoda s dátumom 30. mája 1918 sľúbila Slovensku vlastnú správu, vlastný snem a súdy a slovenčinu ako úradný jazyk. Oba dokumenty podpísali ľudia, ktorí sa vysťahovali preto, že doma sa nedalo vyžiť, a ani jeden nepodpísal nikto, kto na Slovensku naozaj žil. Pittsburské sľuby nikdy nesplnili — a o dvadsať rokov neskôr to zavážilo obrovsky.
