Csehszlovák

Csehszlovák is the Hungarian name for Czechoslovakia, a former country in Central Europe. It was created in 1918 after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The new nation was formed from the lands of Bohemia and Moravia, which were historically part of the Austrian Crown, and Slovakia, which was part of the Kingdom of Hungary. The name Csehszlovák directly reflects this union of Czech and Slovak lands.

The country experienced periods of democratic governance, followed by Nazi occupation during World War II, and then a communist regime from 1948 until the Velvet Revolution in 1989. Throughout its existence, the relationship between the Czech and Slovak populations was a significant aspect of its political and social landscape.

In 1993, Czechoslovakia peacefully dissolved into two separate sovereign states: the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The name Csehszlovák is therefore no longer in use as a designation for a current country, but it remains a significant historical term when referring to the nation's past.
