	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.
		Bohemia's borders are marked with mountain ranges such as the Šumava, the Ore Mountains or Giant Mountains as part of the Sudeten mountains.
		With Bohemia's conversion to Christianity in the 9th century, close relations were forged with the East Frankish kingdom, then part of the so-called Carolingian empire, later the nucleus of the Holy Roman Empire of which Bohemia was an autonomous part from the 10th century.

		The author of the flag is somewhat disputed but most vexillologists agree on Jaroslav Kursa (1875 – 1950), an archivist of the Department of Home Affairs, as the original author of the present flag appearance.
