Czechs are West Slavs, as are Poles and Slovaks. The capital Prague is often called The Heart of Europe as it is located in the middle of the Continent. There are over 10,5 million people in the Czech Republic and about 1,3 million people in Prague. The western part of the Czech Republic is called Bohemia, eastern Moravia, northeastern part Silesia.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Bohemia was still part of the Habsburg Empire (Austrian Empire). After World War I the republic of Czechoslovakia declared its independence in 1918. The new republic had three parts: Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia. The popular Tomas Garigue Masaryk became the first president.
The return of democratic political reform saw a strong Slovak nationalist movement emerge by the end of 1991, which sought independence for Slovakia. When the general elections of June 1992 failed to resolve the continuing coexistence of the two republics within the federation, Czech and Slovak political leaders agreed to separate their states into two fully independent nations. On Jan. 1, 1993, the Czechoslovakian federation was dissolved and two separate independent countries were establishedâ€"the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Upon the dissolution of Czechoslovakia into two separate states (The Czech Republic and Slovakia) on January 1, 1993, the two states adopted their own flags. The Czech Republic retained the flag of the former Czechoslovakia while Slovakia adopted their own flag with the same colors and with the shield of arms in the upper hoist. The flag chosen by the Czech Republic was a bicolor of red and white bearing close resemblance to the Polish flag. To avoid confusion, a blue triangle was added to the flag in 1920. Since then, this version of the flag has been in use. Official Name: the Czech Republic.
The Czech Republic banner is made of two equivalent flat groups of red and white. On the left side of the banner is a blue triangle. The hues used as a part of the Czech Republic banner are the customary shades of Bohemia, acquired from the Bohemian crests. The hues have much typical quality as indicated by the oldest customs.
The white shading speaks of the serene and legitimate nature of the general population of the Czech Republic; red symbolizes valor, strength, and the devoted soul of the general population; the blue speaks of the Czech temperances of carefulness, truth, dedication, and persistence. The National banner of the Czech Republic was formally received on March 30, 1920. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Czech Flag for the future.
