Well it's admirable that you do some research about this. The history of czechoslovakia is actually really interesting. Especially the first republic interwar period. To this day both countries - slovakia and czechia have really good ties. There are lots of slovaks in czechia and some czechs in slovakia. There are a lot of czecho-slovak families. Half of my family is Slovak but my mother is Czech so I live in czechia. That's really really common. The Czech and Slovak languages are also really similar - to the point that every czech understand slovak and every slovak understands czech. It's a shame that this state was dissolved but it was kind of inevitable. There were10 milion czechs and only 4-5 milion slovaks, so czechs basically had far more political influence and slovaks wanted emancipation. I'm afraid that most people don't speak spanish so you'd have to speak english if you were to ever visit. Also if you go outside prague/bratislava - the percentage of english speakers drops so that's kinda unfortunate.
It's mostly about glass but Czechoslovakia is the country where world's first ever software simulation of human brain was developed that is also known as strong artificial intelligence. This revolutionary invention opens way towards new human age known in western countries as SINGULARITY.
@@martinskacel7614 Czechs were far from commies, in fact they were the only real democracy in Europe at times.. They were basically invaded by the Soviets, and like East Germany, finally kicked them out. Nobody there was having commie wet dreams lol
To those naive enough to look kindly on socialism/communism, this film set you straight on how few personal freedoms are allowed by the state. Not allowed to do glassworks at home, only STATE factories. Other comments referring to what is ALLOWED. BEWARE
Okay, a little bit of clarification - There were actually 5 different parts of Czechoslovakia when it formed - Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Slovakia and Carpathian Rusland. After WWII Carpathian Rusland stayed in USSR as part of todays Ukraine, which leaves Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and Slovakia. Also, the informations about the occupation are not exactly well told. First of all, there is a thing called Münich Agreement, which basically took Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia. Also, Slovakia split off and formed its own fasist nation, largely controlled by Hungary, which took significant portion of Slovakia's land. That happened in 1938. In 1939, Third Reich took the rest of Bohemia, Moravia, and part of Silesia that left from Poland's amendment, and formed Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. That was form of occupation. Otherwise, pretty neat document. Never knew that it existed.
I know village Dolní Dobrouč quite well. ;) Our family friend had a cottage there and when I was younger we enjoyed a few autumn/winter holidays in this village, hiking in surrounding picturesque landscape of foothills of the Orlické hory (Eagle Mountains)... Nice memories!
@@jarlRiess I probably should say, I like using the name Michelsdorf but the modern name is Ostrov. Dolni Dobrouc is the modern name for Liebenthal. Cermna is now Dolni Cermna and Horni Cermna.

it's pity we as a Czech & Slovak don't know to save our long term knowledge , experience and traditions. For example swiss clockmaking vs bohemian glass. Also Slovak cheese, wooden products and wine.
There are family owned businesses in Czech Rep. that continue this traditions. You just as an average person don't know them. That doesn't matter, they are doing well. Have you heard about Preciosa, vinils, glass ornaments, Apline Pro, Rajec/Kofola?

They knew term central europe and they didn't call us eastern europe back in the day, that destroyes theories that western people don't know what is central europe, they call us eastern europe now only becuase of bad education and still surviving cold war propaganda. Even in older British documentary from 30s, they were calling us central europe, so this "we are eastern europe" thing is really much later, it was probably created after iron curtain was constructed. Pls, people from USA or UK, calling us eastern europe is really terrible insult, you should stop with that.
i hate to be the bearer of bad news but the Czech republic just might be eastern Europe mate. For instance think what kind of people would elect twice (FFS!) this commie hillbilly as a president
I don't view calling of Czechia (Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia...) Eastern Europe as "terrible insult". Actually can't understand the point - why do you have so huuuge problem with it?! Yes, you're right: confusion between designation "Central/Eastern" Europe is pretty common among western people, especially the Anglo-Saxon nations (due to their poor historical and geographical knowledge), but is it really so offensive to be not so exactly geographically classified??
@@jarlRiess As I said, we are called eastern europe only because of soviet occupation, so yes, it is offensive call us soviet occupation zone. Another problem is that we have nothing common with real eastern europe, they had orthodox church and cyrillic, we had catholic church and latin, we didn't have any connection to Russia before second world war, it was just completely alien country far away. Today, I see many (mainly Americans and British people) who arrive here and wear ushanka with soviet symbols here and such shits, what the hell do those people have in their heads? Shits? I just don't understand it. And this shit about we are called eastern europe is only helping to this nonsense bevavior of tourists. We had better standard of living than Austria before WWII and now, tourists are going for some "soviet trip" here even when we were not even part of soviet union and calling us eastern europe, it's really annoying.

Broken since 1993, because it was artificial state, Czech lands (Bohemia and Moravia) were almost always together in more than 1000 years history of duchy and kingdom of Bohemia and and markgraviate of Moravia.

Oh Lord, already one of the first sentences is wrong. When Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia only the Czech and Moravian parts were annexed into the Reich as the Protectorate of Czechia and Moravia, however, the Slovak part remained as a semi-independent nation, the "Slovak State" due to the efforts of a controversial Slovak priest Josef Tiso, who also became the head of the state, but it was still heavily overseen by the Reich's ambassadors.

Your GNP now is objectively much higher than in the 1960s as well as your overall standard of living. You were just a Soviet puppet at the time, and, as was seen in 1968, you weren't free to go your own way.

@@julianhermanubis6800 Not as easy, as you're saying, if you have here agents, and betrayers along with mass of libtards. GDP is for nothing, if it is distributed among the rich. Standard of living is higher tho, you have right, but state school, and medical sector is ruined, and much worse, then before, also education is worse. Also depts are worse, and also problems with minorities, that just suck social stuff from state, is several times higher and it brings state down. That means, very bad future. Argument with GDP is only playing with numbers, and often people are using it, but it's not good attribute of "overall happiness of citizens". whole GDP can own even one person, or his company, even on first place in the list, the rest 99,9% of people can be still poor.

He was clearly enemy since half of 30s, but when nobody wants help you, you can't just do whole nation suicide, UK and France betrayed us and just gave us to Hit*er, what should we do? We had mobilised more than milion men army, but our border bunkers were not finished yet and border regions were populated by Germans so they could attack us even from other side, also in 1938, even Poland and Hungary were enemies, we could not defeat everyone alone, we were only democratic country in region surrounded by enemies.

To this day both countries - slovakia and czechia have really good ties. There are lots of slovaks in czechia and some czechs in slovakia. There are a lot of czecho-slovak families. Half of my family is Slovak but my mother is Czech so I live in czechia. That's really really common. The Czech and Slovak languages are also really similar - to the point that every czech understand slovak and every slovak understands czech. It's a shame that this state was dissolved but it was kind of inevitable. There were10 milion czechs and only 4-5 milion slovaks, so czechs basically had far more political influence and slovaks wanted emancipation. I'm afraid that most people don't speak spanish so you'd have to speak english if you were to ever visit. Also if you go outside prague/bratislava - the percentage of english speakers drops so that's kinda unfortunate.
It's mostly about glass but Czechoslovakia is the country where world's first ever software simulation of human brain was developed that is also known as strong artificial intelligence.
This revolutionary invention opens way towards new human age known in western countries as SINGULARITY.

Okay, a little bit of clarification - There were actually 5 different parts of Czechoslovakia when it formed - Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Slovakia and Carpathian Rusland. After WWII Carpathian Rusland stayed in USSR as part of todays Ukraine, which leaves Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and Slovakia. Also, the informations about the occupation are not exactly well told. First of all, there is a thing called Münich Agreement, which basically took Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia. Also, Slovakia split off and formed its own fasist nation, largely controlled by Hungary, which took significant portion of Slovakia's land. That happened in 1938. In 1939, Third Reich took the rest of Bohemia, Moravia, and part of Silesia that left from Poland's amendment, and formed Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. That was form of occupation.
Otherwise, pretty neat document. Never knew that it existed.
Well this is after ww2 document so thats why theres not carpathian rus

They knew term central europe and they didn't call us eastern europe back in the day, that destroyes theories that western people don't know what is central europe, they call us eastern europe now only becuase of bad education and still surviving cold war propaganda. Even in older British documentary from 30s, they were calling us central europe, so this "we are eastern europe" thing is really much later, it was probably created after iron curtain was constructed.
Pls, people from USA or UK, calling us eastern europe is really terrible insult, you should stop with that.
i hate to be the bearer of bad news but the Czech republic just might be eastern Europe mate. For instance think what kind of people would elect twice (FFS!) this commie hillbilly as a president
I don't view calling of Czechia (Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia...) Eastern Europe as "terrible insult". Actually can't understand the point - why do you have so huuuge problem with it?! Yes, you're right: confusion between designation "Central/Eastern" Europe is pretty common among western people, especially the Anglo-Saxon nations (due to their poor historical and geographical knowledge), but is it really so offensive to be not so exactly geographically classified??
@@jarlRiess As I said, we are called eastern europe only because of soviet occupation, so yes, it is offensive call us soviet occupation zone. Another problem is that we have nothing common with real eastern europe, they had orthodox church and cyrillic, we had catholic church and latin, we didn't have any connection to Russia before second world war, it was just completely alien country far away.
Today, I see many (mainly Americans and British people) who arrive here and wear ushanka with soviet symbols here and such shits, what the hell do those people have in their heads? Shits? I just don't understand it. And this shit about we are called eastern europe is only helping to this nonsense bevavior of tourists. We had better standard of living than Austria before WWII and now, tourists are going for some "soviet trip" here even when we were not even part of soviet union and calling us eastern europe, it's really annoying.

Broken since 1993, because it was artificial state, Czech lands (Bohemia and Moravia) were almost always together in more than 1000 years history of duchy and kingdom of Bohemia and and markgraviate of Moravia.
Slovakia was part of kingdom of Hingary. Czech Lands were part of Holy Roman Empire, Slovakia (in that time called Upper Hungary) wasn´t) So we have been together with Slovaks just aprox. 70 years).

Oh Lord, already one of the first sentences is wrong.

Also depts are worse, and also problems with minorities, that just suck social stuff from state, is several times higher and it brings state down. That means, very bad future. Argument with GDP is only playing with numbers, and often people are using it, but it's not good attribute of "overall happiness of citizens". whole GDP can own even one person, or his company, even on first place in the list, the rest 99,9% of people can be still poor.
