The article explores the peacekeeping activities of Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia and the characteristics of their activities
on the African continent. The paper examines the African peacekeeping missions carried out by Visegrád countries. The study uses
comparative scientific literature and analysis of statements released by these governments and other papers and studies related to the African
peacekeeping missions. In addition, I used my own experience from my previous African peacekeeping/peace support missions, and
the lessons learned from other African operations published in my previous book about Hungarian peacekeeping missions. In summary,
of the Visegrád states with differing levels of training and equipment, Poland was the most active in peace operations in Africa and in the
lead, followed by the Czech Republic and Hungary, while Slovakia was the least involved in the African continent. This trend is, moreover,
in line with the involvement of the above countries in Africa to date. Although these states cooperate in several areas, this is not the case
for African peace operations, although cooperation in this area would be important. The research examines the background to the activities
of the V4 countries in peace operations in Africa. The study is particularly important in view of the fact that, for a number of reasons
(migration, terrorism), the V4 countries are preparing for greater engagement in Africa, one area of which is peace-support operations.

The research was conducted on the activities of Hungarian emigrants in the Spanish Legion. It was assumed that the Hungarians provided an important manpower supply for the Spanish Legion and the Spanish army, including in the Spanish Civil War. Examining the facts, it can be concluded that the Hungarian soldiers' participation in the earlier North African wars and the Spanish conflicts had an important effect on the area's geopolitical situation, and it is possible to assume that veterans played a relevant role in the ongoing military and intelligence war between the West and the East.
