The Czechoslovak Republic was a country in Central Europe that existed from 1918 until 1992. It was formed after World War I, when the Austro-Hungarian Empire dissolved. The republic included the regions of Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia, and its capital was Prague. Czechoslovakia was known for its diverse culture and strong economy, particularly in industries like manufacturing and agriculture. However, it faced political challenges, including tensions between the Czech and Slovak populations. In 1993, the country peacefully split into two independent nations: the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
