内容説明
Czechoslovakia has been at the center of some of the most difficult--and tragic--episodes of modern European history: its sacrifice to Nazi Germany at Munich; the Communist Coup of 1948; and the military crushing of the Prague Spring. It has also enacted momentous change almost magically, as in the peaceful overthrow of communism in 1989, and then the negotiated end to the country in 1992. Czechoslovak history has consequently produced enduring political metaphors for our times, such as the Velvet Revolution and Velvet Divorce. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Czech State has been thoroughly updated and greatly expanded. Featuring a chronology, introductory essay, appendix, bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries, this detailed, authoritative reference provides understandings of the Czechs as a people; the territory they inhabit; their social, cultural, political, and economic developments throughout history; and interactions with their neighbors and the wider world.
Book Description
The Czech Republic is, in relative terms, the second most attractive tourist destination in Europe. In 1996, 110 million visitors were expected to either drive, fly, or take a train across the border to visit the Republic; over half of these were expected to visit Prague. Over 20 million of these visitors were from English speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. The recent popularity of the Czech Republic gives little indication of its troubled past. After seven centuires of independent existence, the Czech state became a province of the Hapsburg Empire for 300 years. Czechoslovakia was formed in 1918, and occupied by the Nazis between 1939 and 1945. The country was further occupied by the Soviets between 1968 and 1989. The "Historical Dictionary of the Czech State" gives the interested researcher a well-rounded overview of this Central European region. It includes a chronology, notes on spelling, acronymns and abbreviations, as well as two detailed maps. A necessary acquisition for libraries supporting European studies.
