Talk:Emil Škoda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please think over: The statement 'Emil Ritter von Skoda (1839-1900) was a czech engineer' might be wrong.

Since the state of the (former) czechoslovak socialist republic (CSSR) was founded in 1918 (independance from Austria-Hungary), Emil von Skoda could be called as an engineer of (the former) Austria-Hungary. In 1918 he was already 18 years dead.

Okay, thinking over ... done. :-) The term Czech does not denote only state entity of Czechoslovakia or Czech Republic, but ethnos as well. Existence of the Czech nation is of course independent of the existence of any Czech state. There is no problem to be Czech before 1918. Cheers, Pavel --80.95.254.1 13:52, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
