A Brief History.
The Czech Republic is a landlocked country in Central Europe, bordered by Poland to the northeast, Slovakia to the southeast, Austria to the south and Germany to the west.
The Czechs lost their independence to the Habsburgs in 1620. With the collapse of Austria-Hungary, Czechoslovakia was formed.
For historical reasons, the Slovaks had the same level of economic and technological development as the Czechs.
In World War II, Czechoslovakia was forced to hand over the Sudetenland to Germany. Later, Germany invaded what remained of the country, establishing a “protectorate”.
At the end of the war, Soviet troops invade the country. Reunified, the country holds national elections in 1946.
On the night of August 20, 1968, Warsaw Pact troops invade Czechoslovakia.
At the end of the 1980s, the Communist Party collapsed.
On January 1, 1993, the two republics decided to form two separate states. On January 1, 1993, the Czech Republic and the Republic of Slovakia are founded.
