Abstract: As we known, the {it Seifert-Van Kampen theorem} handles fundamental groups of those topological spaces $X=UcupV$ for open subsets $U,VsubsetX$ such that $UcapV$ is arcwise connected. In this paper, this theorem is generalized to such a case of maybe not arcwise-connected, i.e., there are $C_1$, $C_2$,$\mathrm{...},C_m$ arcwise-connected components in $UcapV$ for an integer $mgeq1$, which enables one to find fundamental groups of combinatorial spaces by that of spaces with theirs underlying topological graphs, particularly, that of compact manifolds by their underlying graphs of charts.
