Attractions and Facts
If you really wish to discover the richness of this immensely cultured nation, venture beyond Prague. The magnificent, undulating landscape consists of mountains, upland plains, forests and farmland. Thanks to the fact that the country was spared widespread destruction during World War II, many of its cities and towns are a visual feast of medieval, baroque and art-nouveau architecture and sculpture. Bohemian spa towns and sleepy Moravian wine villages have a historical integrity and welcoming atmosphere that give visitors the feeling of being immersed in an open-air museum. The country also boasts more than 100 castles -- from craggy fortresses to more refined, aristocratic chateaus.

Facts
BACKGROUND
Following the First World War, the closely related
Czechs and Slovaks of the former Austro-Hungarian
Empire merged to form Czechoslovakia. During the
inter war years, the new country's leaders were
frequently preoccupied with meeting the demands of
other ethnic minorities within the republic, most
notably the Sudeten Germans and the Ruthenians
(Ukrainians). After World War II, a truncated
Czechoslovakia fell within the Soviet sphere of
influence. In 1968, an invasion by Warsaw Pact
troops ended the efforts of the country's leaders to
liberalize Communist party rule and create "socialism
with a human face." Anti-Soviet demonstrations the
following year ushered in a period of harsh repression.
With the collapse of Soviet authority in 1989,
Czechoslovakia regained its freedom through a
peaceful "Velvet Revolution." On 1 January 1993, the
country underwent a "velvet divorce" into its two
national components, the Czech Republic and
Slovakia. The Czech Republic joined NATO in 1999
and the European Union in 2004.
