History and Entertainment
The first references to the lands of the Czech Republic date back to the late 9th century. At that time, they were under the Princely Dynasty of Premyslovci. Consequently, the Czech Kingdom was formed here. By the middle of the 15th century, it fell into decline because of multiple military conflicts with neighboring countries. Then, the weakened country was under Austria-Hungary. When the First World War had ended, the independent Republic of Czechoslovakia was established. Another turning point in the history of the country was the Second World War, after which Czechoslovakia was recognized as a socialist country. The country abandoned the socialist development in 1989 when the Velvet Revolution had been adopted. In 1993, the country was divided into two independent parts, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
