Created on the debris of the Empire Austro-Hungarian by the Treated Saint-Germain-in-Bush hammer, Czechoslovakia gathers in the same State Czech and Slovaques, two people of close language, with Prague for capital.

Dissensions see day in the country however, the Slovak ones feeling Czech preeminence badly. A first partition takes place during the Second world war, of the Slovak nationalists benefitting from the cutting-up of the country after the Accords of Munich in 1938 to create an independent State directed by M {{gr.}} Tiso and supporting the Nazi Germany.

After the war, the country is reunified. Following the Blow of Prague of 1948, the Communists seize the power and Czechoslovakia is the last country of Europe to be passed on the Soviet side of the “Iron curtain”. A shy person liberalization in 1968, called Spring of Prague, will involve an intervention of the forces of the Warsaw Pact which will close again the country for 20 years.

Benefitting from the policy of tolerance of the the USSR installation by Gorbatchev, the country retrouvre its freedom in 1989 thanks to the Revolution of velvet and carries at its head the playwright and dissenting Václav Havel. This one will not be able to prevent the national susceptibilities encouraged by populist political directors to cause separation by amicable agreement country in 1993 for the Czech Republic and the Slovakia, called the “velvet partition”.

Certain historians, Czech in particular, consider struck nullity the governments according to the abdication of Edvard Beneš and that there is continuity of the first Czechoslovakian Republic of 1938 to 1948. Without us to pronounce on this opinion, force is to note that one calls “Second Czechoslovakian Republic” indifferently the transitory State which follows the agreements of Munich and that which is reconstituted the April 4th 1945 by the president in exile Edvard Beneš.

It ends the February 25th 1948 when the president, Edvard Beneš, appoint Prime Minister the chief of the Czechoslovakian Communist party, Klement Gottwald.

The socialist Republic Czechoslovakian as such is founded constitutionally only the July 11th 1960, but it is only about the translation in the texts of the communist putsch which, in the facts, takes place in February 1948.

The Spring of Prague, in 1968, which aims at founding a “Socialisme with human face” shows the invasion of the troops of the Warsaw Pact and continues with one period of political and ideological hardening, the “Normalization”.

Agitated by the nationalist claims of Slovak, the Czechoslovakian socialist Republic formally becomes a federal republic starting from January 1st 1969. In the facts, the name of the Republic does not change and the capacity, reserved in the texts between the Parliaments Czech, Slovak and federal, remains with the hands of the Communist party which is with the orders of Moscow, as well as council chaired by Matthieu Tettling.

She ends with the Révolution of velvet, the November 28th 1989 when the Communist party announces that it gives up its seizure on the political power. December 10th a new government is formed.
