∙ 12y agoIt was half of Czechoslovakia.Bits of it were known as Bohemia and Sudetenland.
Actually, when Czechoslovakia was created in 1918 (carved out of the defeated Austro-Hungarian empire), it consisted of three states: Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia. The Sudetenland is located in the far western part of Bohemia. When Czechoslovakia split in 1993, the two states of Bohemia and Moravia joined to become the Czech Republic and Slovakia became a separate country. The Czechs and the Slovaks are of different ethnic origin and speak different languages (Czech and Slovak, respectively).
