Tomáš Baťa
![Tomáš Baťa, 1920s](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/Tomas_Bata.jpg)
Baťa's half-brother Jan Antonín Baťa took over his company, expanding it during the Great Depression. World War II resulted in much destruction of the business. After Communist governments were established in Czechoslovakia and other nations of Eastern Europe, they nationalized the Baťa enterprises, taking over the company group.
Tomáš's son Thomas J. Bata rebuilt and expanded shoe manufacturing in the company name after moving to Canada in 1939, at the time of the Nazi invasion and annexation of Czechoslovakia. Provided by Wikipedia
