The historic lands of the modern Czech Republic have been known by many names throughout its long history. Although the Czech Republic was only founded in 1989 after the Velvet Revolution, it has a long and complex history. The historic Czech crownlands include, Bohemia, Moravia, Upper and Lower Lusatia and Silesia. These were the names that would be used to identify the lands of the Czech people throughout most of its early history from 1100 ad to 1526, when the Hapsburg Dynasty acended to the throne of the Kindgom of Bohemia. It would be known as such until the 1st World War, after which what is now known as Slovakia, Sub Carpathian Ukraine, and the Modern day Czech Republic where combined to form the First Republic of Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia split in 1938, when Nazi troops invaded. Due to Slovakia's compliance, it was granted status as a republic, while the Czech state was split into the Protectorates of Bohemia and Moravia. After the war, CZechoslovakia would be reunited, but after the communist coup, it was known as the Czech Socialist Republic until 1990. Czechoslovakia formally plit in 1993, forming the modern day Czech state.
The Hapsburg Dynasty ruled the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Literally, the correct answer is "Austro-Hungarian Empire", but this country no longer exists, in 1919 the monarchy was abolished and the country split up, and parts have changed country many times since.The territory which was the Empire in 1919 now is the following countries:* Austria* Bosnia* Croatia* Czech Republic* Hungary* Slovakia* SloveniaPlus parts of the following countries:* Italy (north-east part, Alps and Trieste area)* Poland (Southern part)* Romania (the area called Transylvania)* Northern Serbia* Western UkraineMost of the above countries did not exist in 1919, so you cannot say the Hapsburg ruled them.In previous centuries the Hapsburg also ruled territory further west, including what are now parts of Switzerland and Germany, Alsace (now part of France) and most of what is now Belgium.
