Czech Republic

The Czech Republic, also known as Czechia is a landlocked country in Central Europe. Historically known as Bohemia, it is bordered by Austria to the south, Germany to the west, Poland to the northeast, and Slovakia to the southeast. The Czech lands became more industrialized, and in 1918 most of it became part of the First Czechoslovak Republic following the collapse of Austria-Hungary after World War I. Despite its landlocked location, there were brief periods in the Middle Ages during which Bohemia had access to the Baltic and Adriatic seacoasts which no doubt was on William Shakespeare’s mind when he set much of his play The Winter’s Tale there. The last modification of the modern Czech nation-state was inaugurated on January 1, 1993, when the union with Slovakia was dissolved.
