    Extra Information and clarifications.
    1:02 Large group leaving church services in Bohemia, Czech Republic in 1897.
    1:26 The Area of today's Western Slovakia and Eastern Moravia had and still somewhat has a mixed Czech/Slovak population but I don't show that in these maps as A. A lot of People back than identified as Czechoslovak rather than one or the other and B. I am lazy and didn't want to draw it.
    1:26 Keep in mind that the area populated by the Czechs is much more densely populated than the area populated by the Slovaks. So even though on the map it doesn't seem like a big difference, population vise the Czechs are far more numerous.
    2:18 These are the official colors of the mentioned Czech parties, blue and darker blue. These tow parties weren't the only parties in Czechia at the time but they where the most prominent.
    2:44 Most Czech movements at the end of the 19th century where also dictated by anti-westernism, Russophilia and antisemitism.
    2:58 (SNS Slovenská národná strana) different from the current SNS, not the same party just the same name.
    3:06 It was edited by Svetozár Hurban-Vajanský during the time we are looking at (1899 to the Great War), it had many other editors outside of this time (also a few brief ones during Vajansky's involvement).
    4:39 The technical term is the "Eastern Slovak Dialect" (Západoslovenský Dialekt) but I found "Zahoracky Dialect" way more funnier.
    4:45 He failed at being a farmer, locksmith, and a blacksmith in part due to his disdain towards those jobs.
    4:56 Gymnasium- Type of a Central European grammar school.
    6:56 He was later found not guilty and pardon just before the end of the War.
    7:03 Masaryk was also quite a hothead with a nack for ending up in fights whether verbal or physical.
    7:19 There was also a prominent Old Czech party which had the votes of the Czech higher class and Czech Germans.
    8:10 Given the chance, a small majority 51% of Czechs and Slovaks would most likely choose independence, but considering the state of AH, many politicians rather officially supported the federalist state idea instead of a full blown succession.
    8:16 There where also suppose to be various autonomous German enclaves throughout the empire.
    9:42 "Austrian" here refers to any Austrian recruit not just German Austrian.

    It might be interesting to the English-speaking viewers that in Czech the word for Bohemia is "Čechy". Czechia as a whole is "Česko" and the adjective "český" means both "Czech" and "Bohemian". In Polish, both Bohemia and Czechia are simply called "Czechy". So depending on the language, there is greater sense of continuity between the historical Kingdom and the modern Republic.

    • @Gosudar
      @Gosudar Před 4 lety +63

      Good point. I'll just add that the whole Czechia used to be called Bohemia in English until 1918 as well. Masaryk himself named his 1915 proposal for the independent country of Czechs and Slovaks "Independent Bohemia". Bohemia is basically an exonym while Czechia (a Latinised version of the Czech original "Czechy") is an endonym. They were both used interchangeably for centuries. Today, Bohemia ("Čechy") is used only for Bohemia proper, while Czechia (Česko) designates the whole country.

Czechia) is one of the oldest countries in continuous existence? Whilst "the Czech Republic" is just 30 years old? The greatest Czech, Charles IV was not the king of the Czech Republic, was he?

      @Hungary #1 You really think we are better off without EU and NATO? Oh boy. Okay. First of all, look at every country in Europe without EU. Even Norway and Switzerland has to be at least in economic partnerships with the EU or it wouldn't be good for them. Look at the Balkan or Eastern Europe, those are the examples you want to follow? What do you think, could Russia even have a say in Ukraine if Ukraine was in NATO? No. You just described the main point of the EU. We are a small country compared to USA, Russia or China. We have to work together to be important. I study agricultural engineering, you have no idea how many economic stats we have to watch and in every one of them we are small UNLESS we take the whole EU in to consideration, because then we have a saying in EVERYTHING in the world. We export 3 times more than we import just in agriculture. FREE OF CHARGE THANKS TO EU. Our number one Import and Export partner is Germany. Once again, for free. I name you a Company, Bábolna Tetra, probably the biggest chicken breeding company in the country. Not even mentioning how much money the EU put in Hungarian agriculture. For example, did you know we have close to same amount of tractors as Germany? How come? Oh yeah the EU paid for it, because they saw there is a big potential in our agriculture and guess what they were right, we have good lands. 50% of the country is infact are fields. EU doesn't force people to go and clean toilets, people choose that. If they don't like that go and do something else. Both of my parents are factory workers in SOmogy 2nd or 3rd worst county in terms of economical state and guess what I have everything I want. Sure I also work on summertime and sometimes next to UNI, but I don't have to worry about anything. How come they didn't have to go to London cleaning people's arses? It is in our best interest to be in EU and NATO, yes they could provide more for our brothers and sisters outside of the country, but we don't have any better. We have to take this and work for it to be good. Unless you want to live like people in Belarus or Montenegro. (Bless their hearts, I don't have anything against people on the balkan or farther to the east, I just state they don't live as good and wish they someday will.)

      Betting on France has proven to be one of the major "design flaws" of Czechoslovakia (let's keep that in mind next time Macron talks about destruction of NATO a "EUropean defense").
      By today's standards, Masaryk built a huge personality cult around him, which I believe Is something that has no place in democracy.
      Masaryk shouldn't had been elected for his last term, because at that time he was in such a poor physical condition that he was unable to even read the presidential oath.
      Without Masaryk and his personality cult, Beneš would have never been elected president. Beneš was perhaps a great diplomat but definitely no leader in times of crises. He failed in 1938 and was allowed to fail again in 1948. It was Beneš's effort to overcompensate for his failures, that he sleepwalked Czechoslovakia into Stalin's arms in 1943. He then provider cover for communist takover od the country from 1945 to 1948. Being severly impaired after suffering brain strokes he was just a communist sock puppet. I am willing to believe, that Beneš was the mastermind behind Štefánik's aircraft accident in 1919.
      It would be interesting how things would Evolve differently, had Masaryk's sucessor been Štefánik, a soldier and a renaissance man instead of Beneš, the bureaucrat and vengeful intriguer.
      Sadly, Czechs and Slovaks have one thing in common: living in denial and tendency to create an entire mythology around people who objectively failed them. For Czechs it's Beneš and Dubček for the Slovaks.

      That's one of the reasons but it's not the only thing. Czech and Slovak intelligentsia were in close contact during the Austrian-Hungarian times. Thanks to that both nations were somewhat culturally and very much linguistically close. If they were not, forming a single united country would have been very difficult.

      The only reference about him even being involved in the war, that I could find, was from the letter of purpose he wrote in 1875. This letter is held by the University of Vienna but a copy is in the UCL School of Slavonic studies.
      Also a translated copy is in the books
