A lot of this is about Czechoslovakia not the Czech Republic. And where should stuff on Czech ethnic group go? --rmhermen
Indeed. Please come join Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic Groups -- Jmabel 10:28, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I've put the CIA Factbook stuff on this page - there's no point in having it on two separate pages - but the merging goes beyond my expertise. The CIA info is quite brief; but the more extended article seems to have a lot of problems, and the poor English makes it difficult to decipher. Someone with better historical knowledge should probably look it over and make changes. -- April 11:04 Aug 22, 2002 (PDT)
What are we going to do about this entry title, folks? It's not up to Wikipedia standards-- flexible as they are. Imagine a History of the U.S. in the 17th century! --anachronistic. Is Bohemia receiving a European neo-nationalist cultural punishment or something? Why not follow normal historical conventions, giving the history of each region under its name until regions are unified and sepate histories become irrelevant. Wetman 11:26, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Wetman is right. History of Czech Republic makes no sense at all, if you start in year 600. History of Czechia is not perfect, but better. History of Bohemia, limits scope to 1 province of Czech Republic. Cautious 23:54, 31 May 2004 (UTC)
This is definitely not the history of the Czechs, but the history of Czechia. Since most Americans are not able to accept this correct term, someone had changed into History of the Czech Republic months ago, which is of course slightly strange, but on the other hand, the history of all countries in Europe does not refer to the respective country only - this would mean that there could not be a history of Slovenia, but also e.g. of Poland for several centuries when Poland did not exist. Also, each book on the history of Mexico, for example, deals with the Aztecs , even if they have nothing in common with the modern state of Mexico. The same applies for European countries during Celtic, Roman times and so on. Therefore, History of the Czech Republic is a correct title, but to avoid any problems I will take the equally correct term Czech lands, since for a strange reason Americans seem to have a problem with Czechia.Juro
