The territory of the Czech Republic, today includes the historical lands of Bohemia, Moravia and part of Silesia. The Czech Republic became part of the Austrian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire for many centuries until 1918, when the Czech Republic, along with Slovakia, proclaimed the establishment of Czechoslovakia. During World War II, Czechoslovakia was occupied by Nazi Germany. The country then became a socialist country until 1989 when the peaceful Velvet Revolution took place, bringing the country back to the democratic process. On January 1, 1993, a peaceful separation took place, Czechoslovakia split into two countries, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. Diplomatic relations between the Czech Republic and the Czech Republic Vietnam maintained and developed from the relationship between Czechoslovakia and Vietnam (establishing diplomatic relations on February 2, 1950)

History

Archaeologists have found evidence of prehistoric people living in what is now the Czech Republic. From the 3rd century BC, the Celts, Boii tribes came to the Czech Republic to settle. By the 1st century, the Marcomanni and Quani tribes in what is now Germany also came to live in this land. During the European Migration Period in the 5th century, Germanic tribes left the Czech lands and migrated to the lands to the East and West.

Slavs from the Black Sea-Karpat region settled here (due to fierce attacks from Siberia and Eastern European tribes: Hung, Avar, Bulgar and Magyar). In the 6th century they migrated to lands in the south such as Bohemia, Moravia and parts of what is now Austria. During the 7th century, the Samo merchant from Francia led and supported the Slavic revolt against the Avars in 623, becoming ruler of the First Slavic Kingdom. This was the first governmental organization of the Slavs, but in reality it was a union of powerful tribes and not really an absolute monarchy.

After King Samo's Empire disintegrated, the Moravians and Nitras established powerful new principalities. In 833, Mojmir I of Moravia attacked and annexed the principality of Nitra, creating a single principality, Greater Moravia (Velká Morava).

In 846, Mojmir I ceded the throne to his nephew Rastislav (846-870). Under Rastislav, a major cultural reform took place when the missionaries Cyril and Methodius were invited by him to Great Moravia to spread Christianity into the country. They also contributed greatly to the construction of the Slavic alphabet, the Cyril alphabet.

Under King Svatopluk I, Greater Moravia reached its greatest expansion in terms of area. Its territory spanned the lands of present-day Hungary, Poland, Austria, Germany, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia and Ukraine. Later, the constant wars with the Frankish Empire weakened Great Moravia and the Hungarian invaders disintegrated the country in the early 10th century.

In 995, the duchy of Bohemia was established under the leadership of the Premyslid dynasty, members of a tribe called the Czechs. The Premyslid dynasty unified the other Czech dynasties and established a strong central government.

In the early 11th century, the duchy of Bohemia conquered Greater Moravia. Although Moravia was still a separate domain of Bohemia, the country was ruled by one of the sons of the king of Bohemia.

The 14th century was the golden age of the Czech Republic. In 1306, the Premyslid family had no successor. After many bloody wars for power, the Luxemburg family won the Bohemian throne. The second Luxemburg king, Karel IV (1342-1378, Charles in English and French, Karl in German) brought Bohemia to power. In 1344, he elevated the bishop of Prague to archbishopric, curbed the power of the Czech nobles and made Bohemia, Moravia administrative districts, and brought Brandenburg (until 1415), Lusatia (until 1635), Silesia (until 1742) into Czech control. Karel IV also turned Prague into a magnificent capital with many constructions, such as Prague Castle and Karl Bridge. He also founded the Karlova University in Prague (Univerzita Karlova) in 1348 with the desire to make Prague a center of European learning.

In the 15th century, a bloody religious war took place in the Czech Republic, historically known as the Hussite War. The Czech state weakened and in 1526, the Czech Republic was incorporated into the Habsburg empire.

After being incorporated into the Habsburg Empire, the Czechs began to assimilate. The Czech language was banned and German became the official language in the Czech Republic.

In 1618, the Bohemians rebelled against the Habsburg court. They chose a Jean Calvinist Frederick of the Palatinate (Fridrich Falcký) to take the throne. But on November 6, 1620, the Czech army was defeated at the Battle of the White Mountain (Bitva na Bálé hoře). The Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) destroyed most of Bohemia's villages and cities.

By the time Queen Maria Theresa and her son, King Joseph II, were influenced by the Age of Enlightenment, the situation in Bohemia began to change. Although the policy of assimilation remains unchanged, the social and educational situation has improved for Czechs. In the 19th century, French expansionism under King Napoleon I stimulated the spirit of national revival of the Czechs. The new intelligentsia has played a very important role in the revival and development of the national language. In February 1848, the February Revolution in France sparked a bourgeois revolutionary climax that spread throughout Europe. On June 12, 1848, the uprising of radical democrats and the enthusiastic response of the people broke out in Prague, but on June 17, the uprising was extinguished.

In 1867, the Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy was established, in which the Czech Republic was under Austrian influence. In the final years of the Austro-Hungarian empire, the situation between the Czechs and Germans in Bohemia became increasingly tense. The deteriorating relations between the peoples of the empire hastened the downfall of this nation. In 1900, Tomáš Masaryk, who later became the president of Czechoslovakia, founded the Czech Progressive Party. The idea of ​​a country combining the two peoples of Czech and Slovak began to take shape.

After World War I ended with the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, on October 28, 1918, the Czechoslovak Republic (including present-day Czechoslovakia and Slovakia) declared its independence. Treaty of St. Germain was signed in September 1919 officially recognized the new republic of Czechoslovakia. Then, Ruthenia was also annexed to Czechoslovakia in June 1920. The newly formed Czechoslovakian nation had a population of about 13.5 million, inheriting 70-80% of the Austro-Hungarian industrial base. . At that time Czechoslovakia was one of the ten most industrialized countries in the world.

Before World War II, the fascist government in Germany began threatening to invade Central Europe. After the annexation of Austria into German territory, Czechoslovakia became the next target of Nazi Germany. In April 1938, Germany raised a claim to Czechoslovakia's Sudentenland. On September 29, 1938, the Munich Agreement was signed. Britain and France, because they did not want war with Germany, decided to abandon their military alliance with Czechoslovakia. As a result, on March 16, 1939, the entire territory of Czechoslovakia was occupied by Germany. During the years of World War II, about 390,000 townspeople, including 83,000 Jews, were killed or executed. Hundreds of thousands of people were sent to prisons and concentration camps to do hard work. The war ended on May 9, 1945 with the successful overthrow of the Nazi rule by the Prague uprising and Soviet and American troops entering Czechoslovakia.

Between 1945-1946, almost the entire German minority (about 2.7 million people) was deported from Czechoslovakia to Germany and Austria. After World War II, the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia rapidly grew due to the Czechoslovakians' frustration with the West for their abandonment in the Munich Agreement and by the growing influence of the Soviet Union. In the election of 1946, the Communist Party won 38% of the vote, becoming the largest political party and officially in power since February 1948. After that, the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia built a government. all communist.

After taking power, the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia nationalized economic sectors, building a planned economy. The economy grew rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s, then began to decline in the 1970s and fell into a serious crisis. The communist government became undemocratic. In 1968, the Prague Spring movement broke out demanding the expansion of freedom and democracy and the implementation of political pluralism, but was later suppressed and extinguished by the Soviet army.

In November 1989, the Velvet Revolution took place peacefully, bringing Czechoslovakia back to the democratic process. On January 1, 1993, Czechoslovakia had a "peaceful separation". The Czech and Slovak ethnic groups split, forming two new countries, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic.

After becoming an independent country again in 1993, the parliament of the Czech Republic decided to keep the flag of the former Czechoslovak Federation as the flag of the Czech Republic. That same year, the country joined the United Nations. In 1995, the Czech Republic became a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). On March 12, 1999, the Czech Republic joined NATO. In 2004, along with nine other Eastern and Southern European countries, the Czech Republic became a member of the European Union. The Czech Republic's economy follows a market economy and is on the verge of strong development, but it still faces many great risks and challenges.

Geography and climate

Geographically, the Czech Republic is located in Central Europe and according to the United Nations classification, it belongs to Eastern Europe. Historically and culturally, the Czech Republic is considered to be more closely related to Eastern European countries, especially during the Cold War era.

The Czech Republic is relatively small in size, ranking 115th in the world (see List of countries by area). The total area of ​​the country is 78,886 km², of which land accounts for 77,276 km and water accounts for 1,590 km². Because it is surrounded by other countries, the Czech Republic is landlocked. It shares a border of 1,881 km with Germany to the west, Poland to the northeast, Slovakia to the southeast and Austria to the south.

Historically, the territory of the Czech Republic can be divided into three historical regions: Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. Note that Silesia has only a small part of the territory in the Czech Republic.

The topography of this country can be divided into two main regions: Bohemia in the west and Moravia in the east. Bohemia is structured like a basin, consisting of wide plains and plateaus surrounded by low mountains. The main mountain ranges surrounding Bohemia include the Karkonosze Range and the Sudeten Range. Mount Snezka in Bohemia and the highest mountain in the Czech Republic (1602 m). While the terrain of Bohemia is quite flat, in contrast, the terrain of Moravia is mainly mountainous. The Czech Republic is also the source of many major rivers in Europe such as the Elbe River, the Vltava River in Bohemia and the Morava River in Moravia. Its rivers flow into different seas such as the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea.

Regarding minerals, the Czech Republic has a number of resources such as coal, graphite, kaolin, clay, construction wood... The Czech Republic is located in a temperate climate area. Because it is located deep in the continent and is no longer subject to the influence of the sea, the Czech Republic has a temperate continental climate, one of the reasons for the large difference between summer and winter weather in this country. The diversity of topography also contributes to the complexity of the different climates in the Czech Republic.

In general, throughout the territory of the Czech Republic, the winter climate is usually quite cold but not too harsh. The lowest average temperature in this country in January, the coldest month of the year is -5.4 °C. Snow falls more often in the high mountains, but melts quickly in the lowlands of the Czech Republic, making winters in the country relatively humid. When winter comes to an end, the ice melts rapidly, causing rivers to rise and can sometimes cause major floods. Summers in the Czech Republic are usually warm. The highest average temperature in July, the hottest month in the Czech Republic is 23.3 °C. Summer in this country usually has a lot of rain. Besides, strong storms from the Atlantic Ocean that can hit this country also bring a fairly large amount of rain. Temperatures and rainfall gradually decrease in autumn and the forests begin to lose their leaves.

Language

The official language is Czech. Slovak can also be commonly spoken as there is a sizable Slovak minority and both languages ​​are mutually intelligible. Czechs are very proud of their language, and so even in Prague you won't find many signs written in English (outside the main tourist areas). Many older people, especially outside the big cities, are also incapable of communicating in English, so it's good to learn some Czech or Slovak sentences before your arrival. However, most young people speak some English, as English has been taught in most schools since 1990.

Most Czechs speak a second and often a third language. English is the most widely known, especially with young people. German is perhaps the most widely spoken second language among older people. Tiếng Nga đã được dạy rất rộng rãi dưới thời Tiệp Khắc xã hội chủ nghĩa, vì vậy hầu hết mọi người sinh ra trước năm 1975 nói ít nhất một số tiếng Nga (và thường là khá tốt). Tuy nhiên kết nối với thời đại cộng sản và cuộc xâm lược do Liên Xô chỉ huy vào năm 1968 (cũng như các băng nhóm tội phạm nói tiếng Nga ngày nay) đã mang lại một ý nghĩa tiêu cực cho tiếng Nga. Các ngôn ngữ khác, như tiếng Pháp hoặc tiếng Tây Ban Nha, cũng được giảng dạy ở một số trường, nhưng bạn không nên dựa vào nó. Mọi người cũng có thể hiểu một số từ cơ bản hoặc những câu đơn giản trong ngôn ngữ Slav khác (Ba Lan, Serbi-Croatia, vv.)

Tiếng Séc có nhiều tiếng địa phương, đặc biệt là trong Moravia. Một số tiếng địa phương rất khác nhau mà họ có thể được đôi khi bị hiểu lầm ngay cả bởi một người nói tiếng Séc có nguồn gốc từ khu vực khác nhau. Tuy nhiên tất cả mọi người Séc hiểu Séc tiêu chuẩn (như nói trên truyền hình, viết báo và giảng dạy trong các trường học) và sẽ có thể nói chuyện với nó (nhưng một số là quá tự hào khi ngừng sử dụng ngôn ngữ địa phương của họ). Một số người trong số họ thậm chí còn không thể nói tiếng Séc chuẩn nhưng viết nó một cách chính xác.
