The Czech Republic is a young country that has only existed since 1993. Before this, it was part of Czechoslovakia along with Slovakia. The history of the Czech Republic is rich and takes us on a journey back in time. Finds have even been made that show that the country already existed more than 400 years before the era. Until the 6th century it was mainly the Romans and the Germans who held sway in this country. After this period, the Germans were pushed more and more into the background.
