Czechoslovak Togo was a never realised concept of a Czechoslovak colony in West Africa. The author of this idea is considered to be the Czech adventurer Jan Havlasa, but sometimes also the Czech orientalist Alois Musil or Emil Holub. It is necessary to mention that the official documents do not mention in any way the possibility that the Togo region would fall under the administration of the newly established Czechoslovakia, so the idea of a Czechoslovak overseas territory is seen only as a kind of "wish" of some inhabitants rather than a historical fact. In reality, post-war Togo was divided between France and the United Kingdom.
