--- "...Hitler never thought Czechoslovakia should have been a country in the first place, it was the 'bastard child' of the Versailles Treaty, only there for Britain and France to keep Germany in check."

Indeed.

And yet today the Czech Republic and Slovakia are separate nations as agreed in 1993. Since then they have amicable relations, different languages being among the distinctions. Both were a part of what was once the Austro-Hugarian empire, so borders have changed and changed again, as has governance. And both, though having gone through their "Velvet divorce," cooperate as members of the European Visegrád Group.

I worked a while in Prag, and recommend seeing the city center.
