Was Slovakia an axis During world war 2?

The Czech Republic dates only from 1993. Those territories (known as 'the Czech lands') which now constitute the Czech Republic had previously been a part of Czechoslovakia (1918-1938 and 1945-1992).

In 1938 Germany annexed those parts of the Czech lands (over a third) which they called the Sudetenland. In 1939 Germany invaded and occupied the rest of the Czech lands, which they called the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.

A Czechoslovak government-in-exile operated in Paris 1939-40 and London 1940-45, while Czech partisans mounted resistance to the occupiers at home. Units of the First Division of the Czechoslovak Army fought in France in 1940 and Czech pilots flew with the British RAF in 1940-45.

Soviet Red Army troops finally defeated and expelled the Germans, entering the Czech capital, Prague, in May 1945.

Why did Czech split from Slovakia?

Czechoslovakia was carved out of Austria-Hungary in 1918, and was the only country in Central Europe that remained a democracy during the interwar period. The western part of the country had a large German-speaking population and in 1938 Hitler demanded that the main German-speaking areas be handed to Germany. This was accepted, with reluctance, by Britain and France in the Munich Agreement (1938). In March 1939 Germany occupied the rest of Bohemia and Moravia and set up Slovakia as a puppet state. One can ask with hindsight whether Czechoslovakia really 'made sense' as a country, but after World War 2 restoring the country more or less to its former borders was politically essential. After the Velvet Revolution of December 1989, when the country threw off communism, a rift soon became apparent between the more prosperous Czech area and the 'rust belt' that was Slovakia. In the latter, nationalists demanded independence and many Czech politicians were only too delighted to get rid of an economically backward region ... After a referendum, the two part of Czechoslovakia split with effect from 1 January 1993.
