Why was Czechia and Slovakia linked together in the first place?

So they would be strong enough for Anglo to use them to counter German influence in the central Europe.

probably its history as Bohemia

Because the great powers willed it.

Is czech repubblic the most comfy country in europe?

>>2838543
did bohemia control slovkia ever?

>>2838473
Pan-slavism, the close linguistic link between Czech and Slovak and the fact that they were surrounded by countries that could potentially (and actually did in the end) invade them.

If there was a Yugoslav war
And there was a Chechen war
Why wasn't there a Czechoslovak war?

>>2838543

It was actually part of Moravia and Hungary. It was never part of Bohemia.

It was a completely retarded decision.

There wasn't a war, in the same way there won't be a war if Belgium is split up into Wallonia/Flanders. The historical regions belonging to both groups were well agreed of before the formation of the country.

Because Czechs and Slovaks actually like each other, and could agree to peacefully dissolve.

It's like asking why Bohemia was broken up in the first place
Eternal Anglo balancing power
