The History of Czechia and Slovakia: Every Month

[@EmperorTigerstar]

Third time's the charm. Sorry for the second reupload. First reupload was fixing a mistake with Hungary taking land from Slovakia in 1939 and then this one fixed a mistake with the German border over a border territory referendum in 1920.

[@dragonrykr]

Fun fact - from 1993 to 2016 Czechia was solely known as "Czech Republic". In 2016 they adopted the shorter informal name for wider use

[@EmperorTigerstar]

Not quite. Czechia was adopted for *English translation* in 2016 but was always recommended and used by Czechia themselves since 1992.

[@yondie491]

@@EmperorTigerstar^This It was Czechia saying "y'know what, we want you to start calling us by our ACTUAL name, thank you" It's like saying that "Constantinople changed its name to Istanbul after WW1" or "Peking became Bejing 40 years ago" In fact... That would be a really neat video. Actual name changes, such as Eswatini, Congo, and Sri Lanka vs common-reference name changes, like Istanbul, Czechia, and the like There have been a *TON* of official name changes. To my understanding, 2005 was the last year that didn't have at least one official name change.

@@yondie491 Peking is actually the historical Nanking Mandarin pronunciation of that place. Beijing is just spelled that way due to the Pinyin romanization and the Mandarin dialect of that place becoming the standard. It was a switch of Mandarin dialects basically as the capital switched there.

[@yondie491]

​@@xXxSkyViperxXx well Beijing is obviously the modern, official, government-endorsed spelling and pronunciation. TO MY UNDERSTANDING (source: American who is HSK certified by the Chinese government to teach Chinese to immigrants to china as well as American English to citizens of China, definitely more of an authority than me)... "Peking" was the accepted Romanized transliteration as of vaguely 1890 (not exactly the height of Western powers respecting China). B and P are often used interchangeably, but it should be pronounced with an unaspirated soft sound, i.e. a /p/ as in puh, not a hard sound like pee, hence the P, and the whole English weirdness with the letter J is its own thing. So yeah it's not the same as Istanbul, which the Turks ALWAYS called Istanbul and the West just kept insisting was still Constantinople (Iran/Persia is similar of course) but, to my understanding, the Chinese pronunciation shifted to closer to Beijing a long time before the west switched its spelling. But even after having it explained by an expert I'm still fuzzy, but I love researching it. If only Tom Scott had done or Geoff Lindsey would do a video about it!

[@xXxSkyViperxXx]

​@@yondie491 HSK certified? Lol if you believe certifications like HSK certified people more. wouldn't u know it, i am also actually HSK certified, took it when i was in elementary and high school twice on 2 of the levels they tested us on in my country in asia. ive had mandarin chinese classes since preschool and have a parent and friend that also teaches "Chinese" to adults and kids and no, the B and P in mandarin are not interchangeable. It is simply Hanyu Pinyin's orthography why B is used instead for unaspirated P (IPA: /p/) sound, while P is used for aspirated P (IPA: /pʰ/) sound in Mandarin Pinyin. Other romanizations of Mandarin do not do it that way. The reason why pinyin designed it that way is for faster typing and Mandarin doesn't have a /b/ sound anyways. The J is also because of Pinyin choosing J for their /tɕ/ sound. "Peking" was the postal romanization form used widely in post offices and maps internationally during the 1800s and their use of this not because the western empires supposedly disrespect China. In fact, they used it because Nanking / Nanjing used to be the capital of China since 1949 and the Nanking court dialect of Mandarin used to be the standard imperial lingua franca, so of course, Peking was based on the Nanking dialect of the Jianghuai or Lower Yangtze Mandarin, whereas Beijing back then was named Peking or Peiping/Beiping, which today as the capital moved to there and the PRC adopted pinyin, it became Beijing minus the tones as was done with Wade-Giles before. Also, Istanbul is just the Turkish form استانبول‎ of εἰς τὴν Πόλιν (eis tḕn Pólin, “to the City”), which is what the average Byzantine Greeks colloquially called Constantinople before. These are just different languages or dialects changing hand of powers to who gets to officially name a city they now rule.

[@2BoogerFace]

Too bad you can't go back and Czech what it was.

[@ReddoFreddo]

I'm curious to know more about the history of the breakup of Czechoslovakia, it seems very much connected to post-communism. How do Slovakians feel about the breakup nowadays? How do Czechs feel about it? What were the arguments and sentiments for and against it at the time? It's curious because other breakups of bilingual nations like Canada or Belgium would seem just as likely to have happened but have never been popular enough to pull it off (yet). As far as I know, Czechs and Slovaks probably share a lot of common history as Slavic peoples living under German/Austrian rule and oppression, and some common history being oppressed by Russia, was there no sense of comradery? Did Czechs and Slovaks hate each other or was it more of an economic or rationalist argument? I literally don't know anything about these countries so please don't feel offended at these questions.

[@SuperTheFurry]

The Czechs and Slovaks knew they couldn't survive on their own after the collapse of A-H, so they agreed to unite as one country for their mutual protection. It was always an arrangement of security and stability in an unstable world. The Czechs and Slovaks are generally friendly to each other and have no bad blood, it's just that when there was no longer a need to remain united for security, they separated amicably.

[@drendoiz]

Sure, the breakup was just political agreement. The people (both Czechs and Slovaks) did not know a thing they are going to break up. Some people argue it was a good thing because Czechs have more western mentality than Slovaks, others say Czechoslovakia should have stayed because the two countries share identical language and culture. Also Slovaks tend to be more nationalistic about the breakup and nostalgic of communism at the same time.

Music at the start is from the intro of that crappy KZbin channel “bedtime stories”. They pretty much made up scary stories and acted like they were true (although some of them actually were like those girls that disappeared hiking in Panama or Costa Rica). You know that story about Japanese troops getting eaten by crocodiles in Burma? Yeah they said that wasn’t true because the noises the nearby British forces heard weren’t consistent with crocodiles. Instead they claimed they were some kinda Chinese demon monster thing that kinda looked like a deathclaw. Also they had a video where for the thumbnail I think they may have traced over a frame from pitch meetings cuz it looked very much like producer guy. Even the same background

I really doubt Czechoslovaks controlled that much land in Hungary in 1918 October/November.

[@SornGeorge]

I have always been puzzled by the decision to give the Sudetenland to Czechoslovakia, instead of Austria or Germany. I’ve read this happened because the Czechs falsified ethnicity data while Austria and Germany didn’t have a seat at the negotiations. There’s even a small chance that WW2 could have been avoided had these lands not been awarded to CS.

[@Gosudar]

The so-called Sudetenland (the name was coined only a few years before the end of WWI) has been part of Czechia since the time the country was founded, i.e. for more than 1000 years. So it wasn't "given" to Czechoslovakia, Czechia was allowed to keep it instead of being forced to give it to Austria or Germany. Czechs didn't need to falsify anything, everyone knew that these areas were predominantly German-speaking. The reason they were not given to Germany or Austria was simply because these countries lost the war. You don't usually award the losing side with territory at the expense of one of your allies. And don't worry, Hitler would have found another excuse to invade the country, just like he did in 1939.

[@OctavioMovies]

>There’s even a small chance that WW2 could have been avoided had these lands not been awarded to CS. Not really, even if Hitlel had no need to get the sudetenland and got danzing for free he still would have gotten to war with France over Alsace-Lorraine and still would have gone to war with the USSR for Lebensraum and idiological reasons. There were also many more Germans living inside Czechia in other regions that were not the Sudetenland.

[@areon400]

As you can see, we surrendered without fight and only thing that happened was war in Europe starting a year later

[@Adam-g01]

Except they got them, war wasn’t avoided. Also it had all our border defenses and 70% of our industry. Without that region, Czechoslovakia would simply be a rump state like it became and war would always happen. Also the ethnic data wasnot faked, it was given to us because it had literally always been part of Bohemia

[@AhimtarHoN]

Wtf absolutely not, the lands were literally stolen back for free before the war even began
