Czechoslovakia


Czechoslovakia was a sovereign state in Central Europe with Prague as its capital city.

In 1918, the country declared its independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. During World War II, the state did not de facto exist but its government-in-exile continued. From 1948 to 1990, Czechoslovakia was part of the Eastern Bloc. The Prague Spring was forcibly ended when the Soviet Union invaded in 1968. On 1 January 1993, it was peaceful splitted into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
