A proposed 1938 referendum to show what proportion of the Sudetenland's residents would claim a German ethnic background did not take place, following Adolf Hitler's demands at the Munich Agreement. The Sudetenland was relegated to Germany between October 1 and October 10, 1938. The Czech part of Czechoslovakia was subsequently invaded by Germany in March 1939, with a portion being annexed and the remainder turned into the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. The Slovak part declared its independence from Czechoslovakia, becoming the Slovak Republic (Slovak State), a satellite state and ally of Nazi Germany.
