The reason for split of Czechia and Slovakia in 1993 has its root deep in the begining of 20th century before countries even merged together. In Austro-Hungarian empire, kingdom of Bohemia (Czechia) was historical entity with longtime history and was part of Austrian part of the empire, where empire administration was tollerant to cultural differences of subjected kingdoms. Mostly czech population lived there, mainly in central parts, germans living in Bohemia mainly in border parts, were there for centuries, and they were rich - nobility was czech and german. Slovakia - former Upper Hungary, was northern part of kingdom of Hungary, and slovak population was ruled by hungarian nobility, and hungarian administration was more harsh towards cultural differences of subjected nations - in Upper Hungary there were no schools educating in Slovak language above elementary schools, so, there were hardly any elites speaking slovak and representing slovak nations culture. When after WW1 in 1918 Austro-Hungarian empire was dissolved, american president Woodrow Wilson was favoring emerging of new states, but those new states should mean stability in region and newly formed Czechoslovakia promised stability by creating nation of "czechoslovaks", which changed ratios - majority of czechoslovaks vs. minority of germans (and hungarians and poles). Leaders of Slovak nation saw opportunity in binding up with czechs better than staying in same state with Hungarians, where they would perish as the nation. But because, there were hardly any slovak people on the spot capable handling police stations, schools, offices e.g. running the state, there were many czech officers, clerks and teachers stationed all over Slovakia (and Transcarpathian Ruthenia, which was also part of Czechoslovakia). After 15 years (on the brink of WW2) there were enough of Slovakian people capable to handle the state, but Prague was not keen to take away posts from those loyal Czechs stationed in Slovakia, so there was understandable grudge and feeling of betrayal on slovakian part. Also because eastern Slovakia and Transcarpathian Ruthenia were more rural and undeveloped, great part of expenditures for development went there, so Czechs felt that they are paying development and reaping hate. Then there came WW2, Czechia had been ripped apart by Munchen Agreement and annected not long time after, Slovakia become nazi puppet state, Transcarpathian Ruthenia was taken by Hungary. After WW2, Slovakia as a state would be "punished" for standing on the bad side of the conflict, and being subjugated by Soviet Union, but at the same time in Czechia there was strong affiliation of common people towards communism, so Soviet Union supported unification of Czechoslovakia and subjugating the whole state under their influence, while taking Transcarpathian Ruthenia for good as part of USSR. And Germans (even antinazi resistance fighters and german speaking jews) were casted out of the state. While under communist rule and under supervision of USSR advisors, there was no time to think about mutual discrepancies of Czechs and Slovaks, but after fall of communist rule with renewed freedom, Slovaks felt their opportunity to have their own state, and Czech authorities mostly didn't care too much. in hearts of common people, there was feeling of incomprehension, I would say mostly on the Czech side, but because the split was so easy and painless, there is opportuinty for mutual good feelings toward the other nation and many young people study on colleges in the other country and that refuels mutual bond. That is my point of view as a Czech, I hope that it cast some light on this complex topic.
Really nice video and reactions thanks :) Fun fact: The building you have at 4:20 is the Pilgrimage Church on Zelena Hora in Zdar nad Sazavou (listed by Unesco), built by an excellent Czech-born architect with Italian roots, Giovanni Santini. He lived in the Czech Republic and built dozens of beautiful buildings here, especially churches. A lot of Italians in Prague, Bohemia and Moravia built palaces, houses from the 16th century but also railways in the 19th century. Thank you for their hard and wonderful work ❤
Average income in Czech Republic is 1755 EURO in 2024. Median of income (thats more explanatory than average income) is 1463 EURO. All is in brutto, that means before taxation and other obligatory transfers like health and social insurance. These statistical data are distorted by Prague and other large cities (over 100,000 inhabitants). Wages are lower in the rest of the country.
The first castle, Bouzov in 4:35 that was in the video, I grew up there, My father was a warden. In the 90s. That's why I love history... And especially the Middle Ages.
If you want to know why Czechoslovakia split, you have to ask the Slovaks as it was their idea. And when they brought it up, Czechs were like "yeah, whatever..." 😂
Such a mistake right from the start - Germany did not invade Czechoslovakia by force, we would have been able to defend ourselves, we have comlexity bunkers & fortress system around borders, but the vile betrayal of the British and French made us a scapegoat for Hitler, thinking that this would prevent World War II. The Czechoslovak military industry was the most advanced in all of Europe at the time, and all our weapons and factories helped Germany get this far, even though most of the people in the factories tried to sabotage the manufactured weapons.
All that being said is true, but you should also add that, while conscripts were willing and ready to fight for their state, political leadership and even army leadership was not. Army high command was reluctantly asking president Beneš to give the green light for defending, president Beneš rather decided to submit to the terms of Munchen Agreeement, but it was question for Parliament to answer and nobody asked them - we were parliamentary democracy. We could say, that the equipment of bunkers and readiness of army was not as bright, as we think now, maybe the risk of "fifth column" of 3 milions Germans living in Czechoslovakia, many of them supporting Henlein's SDP was enough to cause failure of such endeavor and generality and president knew it and they rather not debate that out loud. Maybe that would cause lynch of german population (and we know, that those victims would mostly be the innocent ones, as always, because those guilty ones were already in Freicorps camps outside Czechoslovakia). All that said, I think that we should take a desperate last stand, fight for couple of weeks and than capitulate. It would mean losses of lives, maybe Czechoslovakia would be considered as the state who caused the war. But nevertheless we could have been proud of ourselves not to bend the knee before the oppressor. The fact, that we capitulated without fight, broken the backbone of the nation for generations to come.
Why British? We had no agreements with the British, we had only agreements with the France and the Soviet Union, but both were so "useless" that their observance was not practically possible. The agreement with the Soviets was that the Soviets would only help us if France invaded Germany. Plus, I would have liked to see the Soviets move their army through Poland at that time. On 16 October 1925, Czechoslovakia signed the Treaty of Guarantee. This document was created in the framework of the Locarno Agreements. It stipulated that France and Czechoslovakia would provide military assistance to each other if they became the target of unprovoked aggression, even if the Council of the League of Nations (CoN) was not unanimous in naming the aggressor. Unanimity entitled members of the SN to assist a militarily attacked country. But this was only if the other signatories to the Rhine Security Pact, which included Germany, agreed to an eventual French advance across the Rhine. The Treaty of Guarantee did not provide protection against German expansion. The Brits has no involving in that.
9:19 the thing you would not realize as a tourist is the actual cost of living. While general goods may seam cheaper (especial after conversion to CZK from Euro), the cost of living is pretty high, especially in Prague. Out of that 1700 dollars, I would spend 1000 on flat/water/electricity every month. And i don't even live in a big and nice flat...... and that's before taking into an account gas, internet connection, cell phone,.....
Actually, PAblo NEruda was not czech, he was a mexician I think. And he took the surname NEruda after czech Jan Neruda. In Prague you can find Nerudova street where Jan Neruda lived.
4:58 fun fact - our current president Petr Pavel used to be 2ic of NATO, so I think he's the only person (it was said somewhere) to have taken a less powerful/lower role in the similar area of interest (usually people go from the bottom to the top, for example from the government to being just part of NATO somehow, however, he became a president of our small country after resigning from the 2ic of NATO spot) :D
1:35 well it should have been said "it could not protect itself because their allies betrayed them and gave out part of the country called Sudety to germany without even having czechoslovak representation during the muchchen agreement...as we czechs say: "about us, without us" Also not mentioning soviet occupation from 1968 to 1989 (well technically even today in 2024 Russia is still occupying part of Prague which is kind of crazy that Russia occupies a NATO country now) is an event that should have been mentioned
Problem is that only our military allies, or rather countries we have agreements, were France and Soviet Union. Problems were: France could help us only when other signatories to the Rhine Security Pact, which included Germany, agreed to an eventual French advance across the Rhine. And Soviet union could only help us, when France declare war on Germany. But Stalin did not want to "piss off" Germans + it would not be possible to move Soviet army through Poland at that time. Both agreements were on paper, but technically useless.
Our comblocks are actually capitalistblocks, because many of them (maybe most of them) are Danish Larsen-Nielsen system. Yes, commies paid to Denmark to use their patent to build comblocks. 🙂 When you use street view and check some Danish cities, you will see completely the same blocks, just not in that big scale like we have. These are completely different than piece of crap you can find in actual former Soviet Union, our Czech ones are much better and it doesn't look like in the picture in 7:19 anymore, that picture must be like 15-20 years old because that was exactly the time when they started painting them, now you barealy find some of them that are still grey, especially in Prague. I actually kind of like them, you have a lot of greenery and space around you and quality of that place is better than what today developers build, those crazy places where you have fences and barriers everywhere and it's designed for cars, not for people. Fun fact: Fried cheese is mostly overpriced on purpose, because it's considered food of cuisine barbarians and they don't want to make it, so they set price to nonsense, but people are that stupid, that they order it even for such price. 🙂 Judging living standard by price of beer is not literally ideal, Czech Republic is actually pretty expensive country, grocery shopping may be even more expensive than in Germany and ofcourse quality for that money is lower. Average salary 1700 USD is correct, but it's average (which means that one person has everything and second person has nothing) and ofcourse it's salary before tax. When you have 1680 eur brutto, you end with like 1300 eur after tax if you don't have kids, if you have kids, you will get more money. It doesn't look that bad compared to other former communist countries, but when you pay 1100 eur rent of apartment and your netto salary is 1300, it doesn't look that good. Better than average salary is to look at median salary, which is currently 1466 eur before tax, that doesn't look really great compared to our housing prices. What is absolute bizarre for me is why people from other former communist countries like Romania work here, why they don't go to Germany? It doesn't make any sense to me.
BTW, that price of beer in touristy shop is acceptable (it's like double price of some local supermarket, you expect it in touristy place), but water for 3 eur? That's crazy, but I know that it's reality, I also saw such little shops, so I know it really exists, they just exploit fact that tourists don't know our currency and correct prices, so they think it must be cheap, but little water for 3 eur is just scam. Price of 0.5L of Pilsner Urquel in pub is like 60-70 CZK in these days, when you go to some touristy place, it can get even close to 100. Czechs were used to that beer in pub was for the same price as in supermarket, but people don't want to work for free anymore, so you pay just for sitting there and prices are going up, I think that increase prices of alcohol is inevitable, it was underpriced for years because of our alcoholic culture, but young people don't drink that much anymore, so pubs are transforming to western-like pubs with western prices of alcohol. Beer for 1.5 eur in a country where everyone is alcoholic is really not a good idea, so when it is for 2.5 or 3 eur now, it's just jump to market prices. A lot of people go to a restaurant, they sit there for 5 hours and just drink beer, you are blocking seat there for people that want to eat and leave, so you have to properly pay for that now, like in the west.
about the average salary - it should be true, because nowadays the number is stated as even higher (statistically, not speaking from experience from close people), yes, in prague its obviously much more than in other parts of the country, but nowadays its estimated to be around 1 897$ on average (of course that average is a really wide term, not many people achieve that big of a salary)
In a few words - Czechoslovakia was artificially created country in 1918 and it was good while it lasted (no more German rule); however, there are deep-rooted differences between these two nationalities, and at the end of the day, the split was peaceful and good for both parties.
One more fact. In the begining of space exploration the Czechoslovakia was the 3rd historic country that had their astronaut in space. After Soviet Union and USA of course.
Onestly nowdays that much people dont care about footbal as much as hockey, because we are not that good at it, that is why they shown jager and didnt focus that on nedved, we won the world championship in hockey this year. These time footbal is popular in smaller leags, like in villages and towns matches. Not in the world scale. Also they mixed up the names, the name was supposed to be Jan Neruda, he was writer.
1:36 We could havet had a chance, but those "big-country" bastards sold us (almost literally)... which made them regret, because CZ was -as told- "industrial powerhouse". 5:08 This is kinda bulls**t, because the older one was saying what he meant (he was kinda bigmouth) and did not took crap from anyone.
Oh. Been there 2 times. First just Praha second time drive To Karlovy Vary, near German border. Nice city. Old spa for People of high society from Germany and Russians from times ago
Fortunatelly, stupid cyrillic almost completely disapeared from Karlovy Vary after 2022, it's always annoying for me when I am native in this country and I can't read anything.
well, it's all half truth and propaganda and fun in the video, so at least about flag: White (silver in heraldry) is for white lion in Czech Coats of Arms Red is for background colour of Czech Coats of Arms and Blue was added for Slovakia. Now it represent blue background of Moravian Coat of Arms. Animal in Moravian coat of Arms is Red-White squared Eagless so it fits the flag well. Yellow and Black for Silesia was not added though. Fan fact - Proper Czech flag is white and red similarly to polish one, so it's why czech politics decided to keep the czechoslovak flag even though they promised not to.
he was wrong about some things so its better to invite some guy from country you watch video about like to this video it would be better to have czech guy so he can say what is wrong
Why? Because Slovak was poor undeveloper country, focused on farming.. instead of industry like czech republic and they think they are poor becausae of us. So they want to split. Now they are even in bigger sh1t..
70 crowns is definately not 17 cents, its almost 3€ (1 €= 25 CZK). ANd the beet in that shop in video is really expensice. Normal price in supermarkets for Pilsner Urquell is around 25 Crowns (1 €)🙂

1700$ si low for avarage salary, its closer to 1900-2000$
well, it's all half truth and propaganda and fun in the video, so at least about flag:
White (silver in heraldry) is for white lion in Czech Coats of Arms
Red is for background colour of Czech Coats of Arms
and Blue was added for Slovakia. Now it represent blue background of Moravian Coat of Arms.
Animal in Moravian coat of Arms is Red-White squared Eagless so it fits the flag well. Yellow and Black for Silesia was not added though.
Fan fact - Proper Czech flag is white and red similarly to polish one, so it's why czech politics decided to keep the czechoslovak flag even though they promised not to.
Pablo Neruda is definitely not Czech nor was he born here. It's a same-family-name mistake by the video creator.
Czechia only, please!

he was wrong about some things so its better to invite some guy from country you watch video about like to this video it would be better to have czech guy so he can say what is wrong
Why? Because Slovak was poor undeveloper country, focused on farming.. instead of industry like czech republic and they think they are poor becausae of us. So they want to split. Now they are even in bigger sh1t..
