Almost every time, Czechs and Slovaks travel abroad, we get confronted with people who still call our countries Czechoslovakia. But how did Czechoslovakia appear on the map of Europe? It was an event that many Czechs and Slovaks did not foresee even just a year before it happened. And as the new state struggled for its place in the world, it had to navigate the tumultuous 20th century.
We were the only central European country that remained a democracy in the interwar era, we survived the German occupation during the Second World War and after our liberation, the German boot was replaced by a Russian one.
What was our place in the world? Why was the state always struggling to achieve stability and prosperity? And why did our two nations finally separated in 1993?
To learn that and more, join our tour in Prague’s New Town, where you will walk the same steps as history did and see the places, where the destiny of Czechoslovakia was sealed.
