),
[4]
[5]
was a
sovereign state
in Central Europe,
[6]
created in October 1918, when it declared its independence from
Austria-Hungary
.
In 1938, after the
Munich Agreement
, the
Sudetenland
became part of
Germany
, while the country lost further territories to
Hungary
and
Poland
. Between 1939 and 1945 the state ceased to exist, as
Slovakia
proclaimed its independence and subsequently the remaining territories in the east became part of
Hungary
, while in the remainder of the
Czech Lands
the German
Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia
was proclaimed. In October 1939, after the outbreak of the
Second World War
, former Czechoslovak President,
Edvard Beneš
formed a
government-in-exile
and sought recognition from the
Allies
.
After the end of the war, the pre-1938 Czechoslovakia was reestablished, with the exception of
Carpathian Ruthenia
, which became part of the
Soviet Union
. From 1948 to 1989, Czechoslovakia was part of the
Eastern Bloc
with a
command economy
. Its economic status was formalized in membership of
Comecon
from 1949 and its defense status in the
Warsaw Pact
of May 1955. A period of political liberalization in 1968, known as the
Prague Spring
, was violently ended when the
Soviet Union
, assisted by some other Warsaw Pact countries,
invaded
Czechoslovakia. In 1989, as
Marxist–Leninist
governments and
communism
were
ending
all over
Europe
, Czechoslovaks peacefully deposed their
government
in the
Velvet Revolution
; state price controls were removed after a period of preparation.
In January 1993, Czechoslovakia
split
into the two sovereign states of the
Czech Republic
and
Slovakia
.
