Czech Republic

About | Usefull info | Trip tips | Castles | Others

For nearly four hundred years, the landscape of the Czech Republic (known as czecko) formed part of the massive empire ruled by the Hapsburg family. The defeat of the Hapsburg armies in the First World War led to the collapse of the empire and the creation of the independent republic of Czechoslovakia. After nearly a decade of occupation by German Nazi and Russian Red Army forces, the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia gained control in the 1946 elections, and the country remained a Communist state until the Velvet Revolution of 1989. On 1 January 1993, the country peacefully split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The land-locked Czech Republic now comprises the historic regions of Bohemia and Moravia, as well as parts of Silesia. The Czech Republic is one of the most stable and prosperous states of the former USSR, joining NATO in 1999 and the European Union in 2004. The country is just over 30,000 square miles in size, comprising a vast basin of Bohemia, drained by the Elbe and Vltava rivers, with mostly low mountains from the Sudeten range to eastern Moravia. A temperate, continental climate tends towards relatively hot summers and cold, cloudy winters, usually with snow. The population in 2007 was approximately 10,500,000. Aside from the magnificence of Prague, the country is esteemed for its love of marionette puppetry and Pilsner beers, as well as bosting the most casulated country in he world.
