	Czech lands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Czech lands (in Czech: české země) is an auxiliary term used mainly for Bohemia + Moravia + Czech Silesia, today identical with the Czech Republic.
		The term "Czech lands" is used especially for the period till 1969 (when the entity and term Czech Socialist Republic arose), but also afterwards.
		Czech lands was used especially in the past (before 1992), when the (almost) alternative term Czechia was used rarely (in Czech it was codified in 1777, but was rarely used both in the Czech and in the English language), so that it was impossible to describe the main and secondary Czech territory by one word.

	Bohemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bohemia (Czech: Čechy; German: Böhmen, Russian: Bogemiya) is a historical region in central Europe, occupying the western and middle thirds of the Czech Republic.
		A national Czech movement against (mainly German) foreign immigrants was promoted by the religious movement of Hussites under the leadership of Jan Hus, a precursor of Martin Luther, who was eventually burned at the stake.
		The Czech constitution from 1992 refers to the "citizens of the Czech Republic in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia" and proclaims continuity with the statehood of the Bohemian Crown.

	Czech lands: 880s-1198 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Czech tribes in present-day central Bohemia started to build a unified state under the influence of the neighboring Great Moravia in the 880s under Prince Borivoj from the Premyslid house, who was baptised by the Great Moravian bishop Methodius in 874.
		The Bohemian Principality definitively emerged in 995 when the Premyslid chiefs--members of the tribe called Czechs (one of the tribes in Bohemia, from which the Czechs derive their name)--unified neighboring Czech tribes and established a form of centralized rule.
		Significantly, the bishopric of Prague, founded in 973 during the reign of Boleslav II (967-99), was subordinated to the German archbishopric of Mainz.

	A Brief History of the Czech Lands
		When, however, a 14th-century chronicler writes that “German speech is commoner than Czech almost in all towns and at the court”, this may be taken as referring in particular to the speech habits of the upper nobility and prosperous burghers.
		His son Wenceslas IV faced growing difficulties, both with the nobility, and with the Church, whose authority was weakened by the Papal Schism, and undermined by mounting criticism of ecclesiastical wealth and often blatant corruption.
		In the May 1946 election the number of political parties was limited to 7: 4 in the Czech lands, 3 in Slovakia, and the strong pre-war Agrarian party was banned.

	Central Europe Review - Czech Feminism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		One good reason is the way in which the history of the Czech women's effort to achieve equality in higher education reflects the characteristics of the women's rights movement in the Czech lands.
		The hardest blow was the closing of all Czech universities by the Germans for the duration of the war and the sending of Czech students to labor camps.
		Yet, most Czech women today probably never think about the fact that their current favorable status in higher education is largely the outcome of a steady, progressive women's rights movement in the Czech lands.

	Czech history - Czech lands in primeval times
		Moravia and Silesia (the "Czech lands") existed from the Middle Age in the framework of one state or confederation of states.
		The history of the Czech lands and Slovakia as such does not form an organic whole, and it would be strained and unfortunate to make an attempt at their entire mapping in the framework of one account.
		The Czech lands did not come into more systematic relations with Classical times, which were reflected in their later civilization development.

	The history of the Czech lands to 1968
		However, Wenceslas has been venerated by the Czechs for many years, his memory was important in the middle ages, and his cult reappeared in a more secularised way during the Czech national revival of the nineteenth century and in more recent times as a symbol of freedom of expression under the communists.
		A.J.P. Taylor wrote that in 1620, "Czech Hussite culture was replaced by the cosmopolitan Baroque culture of the Counter-Reformation", and this was not meant as a complement.
		Prominent in the revival of the Czech language and culture were the linguists Josef Dobrovský and Josef Jungmann, the poet Jan Kollár, and the historian František Palacký.

		In fact, the Latin name for the Czech lands, "Boiohaemum" (Bohemia), is derived from the name of the Boii Celtic tribe; and the Czech name for the Moldau River (which flows through the capital city of Prague) is Vltava - which is said to come from the Celtic "Vlt" meaning wild, and "Va" meaning water.
		The Czech Celts were in part chased out of the region and in part assimilated by the next peoples to inhabit the area: the Germanic Marcomanni and Quadi tribes from the west and the Romans from the south.
		As ruler of the lands, she was also the highest 'court of appeal' for disputes among the people.

	osel: The Culture of Beer in the Czech Lands
		For Czechs, it would be unimagineable for the Czech national meal (roasted pork, cabbage and the famous Czech dumplings) to be accompanied by any beverage other than beer.
		Czech beer comes in degrees from 6-19%, but 10% and 12% are the most common.
		While the Czech Budvar (Budweiser) beer calls itself 'the beer of kings' (due to a royal inclination towards this brew in the early 16th century), it is impossible to say which Czech beer is the best.

	Central Europe Review - Not Just Prague (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		With few exceptions, scholars typically overlook smaller communities in the Czech Republic.(3) Neglecting the rural aspect, many studies emphasise the Czech lands' place in the "advanced and industrialised" group of nations after the break-up of the Hapsburg Empire.
		This standard view is repeated again in the 1995 OECD report on the Czech lands' agricultural history.(7) Usually, it is assumed that the Czech lands have been industrialised and thus urbanised since the 19th century, like much of Western Europe.(8) There are, however, reasons to question this assumption.
		The Czech lands did not exhibit a rise of a politically motivated bourgeoisie that forcefully challenged the traditional bureaucracy.

		As I recall, part of the terms of the "Velvet Divorce" between the Czech and Slovak portions of the old CSFR was that neither successor state would use the national symbols of the federation.

		Considering the relationship between Czechs and Germans during the war and after, as well as the lasting xenophobia and evident latent and explicit racism of Czech society toward Roma, the book represents a strong appeal for Czechs to discuss our history and come to terms with it.
		While I do not doubt the victims' suffering and the tragic dimensions of the behavior of the Czechs under the German protectorate, I believe that the treatment of the Lety prisoners was a gross abuse of the situation under the protectorate, a situation that allowed personal acts of violence, cruelty, and theft.
